📢 How Do I Know If My Dog Is in Pain? 🐶
Dogs often carry pain quietly, which is why the early signs can be easy to miss. Many dogs don’t yelp or limp straight away. Instead, discomfort tends to manifest as small changes in behaviour, movement, or routine that accumulate over time.
‼️‼️It is crucial to recognize that good APPETITE ISN'T A SIGN OF GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE. This is a common misconception and we encounter it on a daily basis. Appetite and feeding is deeply rooted in primitive survival instinct. Instinctive behaviour doesn't equal good quality of life! ‼️‼️
‼️‼️Pain vocalization (crying, whining, yelping) is also breed and individual character dependent. PETS OFTEN DON'T EXPRESS THEIR PAIN VOCALLY ‼️‼️
As pet owners, it is crucial for us to be able to recognize pain and to seek veterinary advise if in doubt. There is a whole array of pain-relief treatment options nowadays which can effectively improve the quality of life.
COMMON SIGNS:
📌 BEHAVIOURAL CHANGES
📌 MOVEMENT AND POSTURE CHANGES
📌 ALTERED FACIAL EXPRESIONS AND BODY LANGUAGE
📌 CHANGES IN EVERYDAY ROUTINES
📌 SMALL SUTTLE CHANGES
