Integrative Pain Management-
When it comes to managing pain, especially in our elderly pets, there is NOTHING better than an integrative approach! This means you get the very best of both worlds... traditional western medicine and a more holistic approach of eastern modalities.
Dr Diane Richter and Dr Sarah Mills both like to keep your pets' Golden Years truly GOLDEN. Using blood work to assess the health of the kidneys and the liver, they determine how well your pet can tolerate traditional medications. We have many traditional medications to choose from such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, steroidal pain management, joint lubrication shots like adequan, and even newer monoclonal antibody shots like Solensia for cats and Librela for dogs. These medications can each be discussed and considered on a case by case basis for managing your pet's pain.
We also offer many "alternative" therapies. These non-traditional modalities allow us to use far less of the "stronger" and "more toxic" western pain management options. Herbal medication, cold laser, chiropractic are all things our integrative doctor, Dr Diane Richter can discuss with you. Using these modalities on their own or with traditional medications allow us to use far less of the medications that are cleared by the liver and kidneys. And these bring much synergistic improvment in mobility and pain control.
Chronic disease like Lyme Disease and auto immune diseases are Dr. Diane Richter's forte as well.
Because of all of the access to alternative therapies, many clients come from far and wide to let Dr. Diane Richter relieve their pet's chronic pain. Let us help your baby find some relief and act like a puppy or kitten again!
Both Dr Mills and Dr Richter look forward to helping making your furkid's golden years the BEST ones yet!
