Knowing And Recognizing Pain In Our Pets

Is my pet in pain?

Other than crying and limping how do you detect pain in your pet? It can often be very challenging because animals are masters of disguise when it comes to discomfort. Sometimes it is simply a change in their normal behaviour that can alert us to problems. Other signs of pain include; licking their lips, walking differently, changes in appetite, energy and sleep patterns as well as hiding or avoiding behaviours.

No one knows your pet better than you. If you feel they are in pain, then call your Veterinarian!
