What are the more subtle signs that a dog is in pain?
My dog has been prescribed narcotic pain killers for his pain associated with terminal cancer. He doesn't need the meds around the clock, they're only to be given as needed (which isn't often).
I know the obvious signs of pain, but since dogs, unlike us, never learned that showing pain may mean relief, they tend to keep it to themselves.
So what are some subtle pain signs?
The answer is provided by :
panache :
Isolating itself,finding a dark area hid,lip licking,pacing,fear of quick movement avoiding jumping or other activities that cause pain and some dogs become clingy when feeling poorly
