23.08.2024 11:19
One of the main tasks of a dog owner is to constantly assess the condition of his pet.
At the first signs of illness, a person should take their four-legged friend to a veterinary clinic.
But how do you know if your dog is sick? There are obvious signs: loss of appetite, breathing problems, bloodshot eyes, lethargy, vomiting, etc.
There are less obvious, but also very bad signs. It is worth knowing about them in advance.
So, what behavioral patterns indicate that your pet may be feeling unwell?
Tail tucked
This is a sign of severe stress. Perhaps the animal was frightened of something.
But it is possible that the problem is poor health.
The dog is moving strangely
A clear change in gait is another dangerous sign. Perhaps your four-legged friend is in pain, for example, due to an injury to a paw.
Ignoring the owner
If the dog has always been obedient, but suddenly seems to stop noticing the owner or begins to follow commands with obvious reluctance, then this is unlikely to have happened just like that.
It is possible that the animal is sick. Be sure to show it to the vet.
The dog licks itself excessively
Perhaps your pet got hurt. It is worth taking your four-legged friend to a veterinary clinic even if there are no noticeable injuries on the animal's body.
