Is My Dog In Pain?

Obviously, dogs can’t talk, at least not like humans do. This communication barrier sometimes makes it difficult, especially when it comes to evaluating your dog's health or possible illness.

Here are a few of the most common signs that a dog is experiencing some level of discomfort:

• Reluctance to move or walk
• Tense abdominal muscles
• Stiff neck
• Limping or lameness
• Flinching when an area is touched and/or crying

If you suspect your dog is in pain, you should schedule an appointment with your veterinarian.
