Pain Management Consultations

Vet, Dr. Chelsea Dawson, has a European Certificate in Chronic Pain Management and Western Veterinary Acupuncture. This training has given her a wealth of knowledge in various areas of pain management, including how she examines animals, acupuncture, physical therapies and medications. It has given Chelsea insight into conventional medications, less commonly used medications, as well as complementary approaches to pain management.

Initial pain assessments are around 1.5 hours long. During this time Dr. Chelsea will take an in depth history including a behavior questionnaire, and perform a full examination. Following this, a complete, individualized treatment plan will be made. This can include medications, acupuncture, herbal options, laser and more. You will also be given plenty of things that you can do at home to support your pet.

Following the consultation, a full report will be sent to both you the owner, and the referring vet.

Follow up consultation will depend on the treatment plan.
