What are the alternatives for pain medicine in cats?

We don't always want to just throw medications at animals. We want to consider things like how they are at home. Are they eating too much? Could they lose some weight? Do they have arthritis? If they lose some weight, that will really help a lot.

At home, there's maybe not a whole lot of things. We have alternative methods like K-laser, which is light therapy we can use to treat the inflamed tissue or the inflamed joints. There's acupuncture pressure point massage. There are some of those types of things that can be used in a cat and a dog as well.
