Especially in cases of chronic pain or nerve pain, there may be a time that your pet continues to be in pain no matter what you are doing at home. That level of persistent pain is often only resolvable by injectable medications, and that is when a “pain vacation” can help. During their “pain vacation,” your pet is hospitalized as a day patient and received injectable pain medication. The injections relieve the persistent pain and allow oral pain medications to be effective again once your pet is home.
