Signs Your Dog May Be in Pain
Dogs instinctively hide their pain, making it important to recognize subtle signs of discomfort. Look for these indicators:
- Difficulty standing, walking, or jumping
- Decreased appetite
- Limping or favoring a leg
- Decreased activity or reluctance to play
- Shaking or trembling
- Excessive panting
- Whining or whimpering
- Licking or chewing at a specific area
- Pawing at the mouth or face
If your dog is showing signs of pain, our team will perform a thorough physical examination and may recommend diagnostic tests such as blood work or imaging. Our goal is to create an effective treatment plan tailored to your dog’s needs. Call us at (703) 256-8414 to schedule an appointment.
