Recognizing Signs of Pain in Pets
It can be surprisingly tricky to tell whether your furry family member is in pain. That is because animals instinctively mask their discomfort to avoid being targeted by potential predators. The following are some tell-tale symptoms of pain:
- Dilated eyes, shaking, instability, or changes in posture
- A decrease in appetite or stopping eating altogether
- Reduced activity, slower movement, or increased sleep
- Less interest in playing, running, or jumping
- Limping or favoring a limb
- Excessive pawing, scratching, or licking
- Whining, yelping, or whimpering
- Withdrawal or changes in overall behavior and demeanor
- Bathroom accidents in the house
If your pet shows any signs of pain or you sense that something is off, it is essential to seek immediate care. Pain is often an indicator of serious underlying concerns that require prompt treatment.
