PINEHURST, N.C., Sept. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Assisi
Animal Health, developer of the Assisi Loop®, an effective
non-pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory device (NPAID®) that works as
pain relief for cats, discusses how to detect pain in your cat in
honor of Happy Cat Month.
Each September marks the annual month-long celebration of Happy
Cat Month. This event was created to spread the word about the
health, welfare, and value of companion cats. Generally, felines
will not indicate that they are experiencing pain. This behavior
could be attributed to the survival mentality passed down from
their jungle ancestors who, when any weakness was exposed, became
prey for stronger animals.
Today's knowledgeable cat owners realize their domestic cat
carries inherited traits of their jungle forefathers and have never
forgotten the urge to hunt, stalk, and survive. The act of hiding
pain makes it extremely difficult to detect discomfort,
particularly in its early stages. Cats in pain frequently consume
less water and food, possess a negative change in attitude and
carry a small desire to be in the family mix. For example, a feline
in discomfort may choose to spend its time under a chair observing,
rather than be outgoing.
The progression of pain will often lead to more obvious signs
such as lack of grooming, as a result of the displeasure provoked
when bending their bodies to lick and clean. It is possible that
the cat that would routinely greet you each morning is now on the
floor at your feet. If you see any indication that there is a
change in your cat's normal routine, consider this a potential sign
for pain.
The message is BE PROACTIVE. Observe Happy Cat Month by taking
your feline to the veterinarian for a routine checkup. Avoid
self-prescribing any medication, as cats are extremely sensitive to
drugs. If you do detect signs of pain in your feline, caution
should be used when investigating. The most loving cat will bite
and scratch when you examine the painful area.
When looking at options for pain control, reach out to your
veterinarian and ask about a prescription for the Assisi Loop. The
Assisi Loop is a take-home device that uses targeted Pulsed
Electromagnetic (tPEMF™) waves to help the healing process and is
the same FDA cleared technology used in humans.
