Hunden talar ofta om för oss om han eller hon har ont - men det behöver inte alltid synas på utsidan...
This Week’s Myth:
"A dog’s chronic pain is just a medical concern, and has nothing to do with their behaviour."
FACT: A dog’s chronic pain not only affects their physical health but also has a significant impact on their behaviour.
Chronic pain can cause dogs to become more irritable, anxious, or withdrawn, and they may show signs of frustration when they are unable to engage in activities they once enjoyed.
Pain can also make it difficult for them to perform basic tasks, like walking, eating or playing, which can result in changes in their usual behaviour. In some cases, they may become more aggressive or start avoiding certain situations altogether, as they associate them with discomfort or pain.
This connection between physical discomfort and behavioural changes underscores the importance of addressing both the medical and emotional needs of dogs in pain.
