In most cases disposal of an animal of a pain syndrome does not eliminate the root cause of pains, but facilitates its state and promotes the speedy recovery. Both special veterinary medicines, and those anesthetics which are intended for people are for this purpose applied. In this case observance of a dosage is especially important.
Signs of a painful symptom at pets
When the animal is injured, that to him it is painful, you can guess also without words. But in cases of necroses of fabrics, violations in them of blood circulation, spasms of muscles or stretching of round or hollow bodies, the animal can suffer silently, and you need only to keep track attentively of his behavior to define a pain syndrome.
The main symptom of pain both at dogs, and at cats is change of behavior: cats begin to hide and "calm down" - behave more quietly, than usually; the dog can, on the contrary, begin to draw attention to herself in every possible way. Pain both at those, and at others can be also followed by signs peculiar to the person: groans, a poskulivaniye, we howl, miaow and even shouts when it is strong. The aggressive behavior – especially can be observed if accidentally you touch a sore point. As a rule, at animals the lack of appetite, change of gait – lameness is observed if paws, rapid breathing and heartbeat hurt. At severe pain often there are spasms. But all these symptoms can be a consequence not only pains, but also other violations therefore it is important to show an animal to the veterinarian that he made the diagnosis and appointed that treatment which is necessary and will give to an animal relief.
How to choose an anesthetic dose for an animal
You have to understand accurately that independent prescription of medicines to an animal can sometimes not improve his state, and provoke deterioration. It can be done in the most extreme cases in the absence of the veterinary help as in each case the individual selection not only medicines, but also their dosage is required. The necessary dosage is specified in instructions which are attached to the anesthetics developed especially for cats and dogs: Fleksoprofen, Rimadil, Travmatin, Karprodil. So, Travmatin enter 2-4 mg for dogs of the average and large size, puppies and little dogs have enough 0.5 mg up to 2 mg. Rimadil in tablets is counted – 1 tablet on each 5 kg of weight of an animal. These are nonsteroid resolvents which help at diseases of the musculoskeletal device. Corticosteroids provide anesthesia, but are fraught with side effects. They cannot be applied with medicines of the first group. Most effectively medicines of group of opioids work, but they influence also the central nervous system, causing in some cases drowsiness, in others – excitement. When near at hand there are no special medicines for animals with the indication of a dosage, it is possible to use "human" drugs. So, Pentalgin give from calculation ½ tablets on each 20-30 kg of weight of a dog or 1/8 tablets if medicine for a cat. If is baralgin in ampoules, to his dogs enter intramuscularly on 3 cubes on 40 kg of weight, the dose for a cat will make less than 0.5 cubes. If in a first-aid kit there is nothing, it is possible to give "Analginum". To a cat – ¼ tablets, a dog – 1 tablet on 30 kg of weight.
