As a vet and a dog owner I always hate to see a dog in pain and always want to do whatever I can to take the pain away. I know I hate to be in any sort of pain at all. Imagine yourself being in pain and not having an idea why or what you can do to stop it. This can be very frustrating. You have to put yourself in your dog’s position and really try and figure out what the problem is. Your dog will be extremely grateful and will actually appreciate you more than he already does.
Last week I wrote about Pain Relief. Here is another article with some more great tips on pain relief:
As a dog owner, we really don’t like to see our dogs hurting. It’s distressing, and we want to do something to help him straight away. Sometimes, if he’s not yelping or obviously limping, it’s not as easy to tell if he’s in pain.
There are some things to look for to tell if he’s sore. He’ll be a bit quieter than normal, and may not be as interested in his favorite activities. He may also be off his food. One big giveaway is that he’s grumpier than usual, and may even behave out of character, for example he may snap at people when he’s never done that before.
