But the animal was not in pain. Look at the photo: the dog is resting comfortably on the floor. Dogs don’t act macho and “hide pain.” They scream unendurably if in any kind of pain.
Other signs of pain include (but are not limited to):
Whimpering or vocalizing
Becoming quiet, withdrawn, and inactive
Showing uncharacteristic aggressiveness when approached (an attempt to protect themselves from further pain)
Holding the ears flat against the head
Increased licking of a painful/sensitive area
Decreased appetite
Reluctance to walk, run, climb stairs, jump, or play
Stiffness or limping
Lagging behind on walks
Unexpected reactions when touched
Changes in personality
And dogs are good chiropractors aren’t they? They know when they spines are being lovingly damaged...don’t they?
BTW, if I didn’t respect you, I wouldn’t respond to you.
