Recognizing pain in your cat and or dog

Recognizing pain in your dog and your cat is easy because we grow such a close bond to them.

There are of course good and bad pain. Goof pain in the form of healing after a major operation and then the bad pain, the ones that cause us worry.

It is important to know the basic signs of pain:

1. They become quiet.
2. Abnormal behavior in eating, sitting position, relating to others.
3. They hide, most commonly they shy away from people and other animals.
4. Signs of stress such as panting and swallowing.
5. Eating & drinking habits, either too much or too little.
6. Aggression, some animals in pain will growl at other animals and or people.

Remember the longer your cat and or dog is in pain, the longer the recovery.
