Chronic Disease & Pain Management for Pets in Wimberley, TX
Supporting Pets with Long-Term Conditions and Chronic Pain
At Wimberley Veterinary Clinic, we understand that managing a chronic condition or persistent pain can be overwhelming — for both pets and the people who love them. That’s why we provide compassionate, personalized care for animals living with arthritis, diabetes, kidney disease, and other long-term health issues.
Chronic Disease Management
Our veterinarians are experienced in treating a range of chronic illnesses in dogs, cats, exotics, and large animals. These include:
Diabetes
We provide bloodwork, glucose monitoring, insulin management, and nutrition guidance to support stable blood sugar and energy.
Chronic Kidney Disease
Common in older cats and dogs, kidney disease requires early detection, routine bloodwork, and tailored fluid therapy and diet plans.
Thyroid Disorders
For pets with hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, we offer diagnostic testing and long-term hormone regulation.
Arthritis & Joint Degeneration
Stiffness, inflammation, and pain from aging or orthopedic issues can be addressed with a multimodal care plan.
Other Conditions
We also manage conditions such as heart disease, Cushing’s, IBD, and more with ongoing diagnostics and support.
Regular checkups, bloodwork, and tailored treatment plans are key to slowing progression, reducing symptoms, and maintaining quality of life.
Pain Management & Laser Therapy
Pain in pets isn’t always obvious. Many animals instinctively hide discomfort, which makes it even more important to recognize subtle signs and intervene early.
Signs Your Pet May Be in Pain:
- Limping or stiffness
- Sleeping more or restless at night
- Slower to rise, jump, or play
- Increased vocalization or withdrawal
- Licking or chewing at a specific area
Pain Management Tools
We use a range of pain management tools depending on your pet’s condition, including:
Cold Laser Therapy
A non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses infrared light to reduce pain and inflammation, improve circulation, and accelerate healing. Ideal for arthritis, injuries, infections, surgical recovery, and more.
Laser Surgery Options
For certain surgical cases, we may use laser tools that reduce bleeding, swelling, and discomfort.
Prescription Pain Relief
Safe, long-term use of NSAIDs, joint supplements, or other medications as needed.
Monoclonal Antibody Therapy (Librela & Solensia)
Every pain management plan is customized to your pet’s age, species, lifestyle, and response to treatment. From advanced diagnostics and treatment planning to cold laser therapy and pain relief, our team is here to improve your pet’s comfort, mobility, and quality of life.

With attentive care, modern therapies, and expert guidance, we help pets live more comfortably and actively for as long as possible. Whether your dog has arthritis or your cat has kidney disease, the team at Wimberley Veterinary Clinic is here to help every step of the way.
