As much as we believe that our pets are part of our family, they aren’t able to communicate with us like our kids. We never know what’s going through their minds. Sure, you may be able to tell if something is wrong: whimpering, excessive barking, or limping are all pretty good indications that your dog is in pain. But there are other behaviors that show that something isn’t right with your dog. For more possible indicators that your dog needs to go to the vet, check out this important post by I Heart Dogs:
-Excessive grooming- dogs will obsessively groom a wounded area
-Heavy panting- could be stress-induced from pain
-Not eating- one of the most serious indicators that something is not right
-Shyness and aggression- if your pet becomes withdrawn and behaves erratically, he could be seriously sick!
