The way a dog expresses pain should be clear to the owner
Dogs have lived with human beings for thousands of years, especially after they become human pets, they are closer to human beings in life and psychology. They are innately knowledgeable about human nature and know many things about human beings. Especially dogs who have lived with their owners for a long time are more aware of the meaning of their owners' every move. We should not assume that they cannot speak and express their mental intentions. In fact, in many aspects of life, they are sometimes more attentive than their masters, and their comprehension ability is often beyond the master's expectations. This may be the reason why people say that the old dog becomes the essence, right?
Although they have the IQ ability of human children of several years old, their inner expression is completely different from that of human children. Although their way of thinking is the same as that of children, there is no scheming and direct expression. But their minds are more mature than children's. For example, when a child is physically ill, it will directly show the way of crying, while the dog will show a forbearance. Therefore, even if they are sick, they are easily ignored by their owners.
How do we find out that they are sick or unwell? Specifically, although they are naturally tolerant and do not shout like children, their behaviors will show certain abnormalities in many aspects. There are generally the following manifestations.
One is slow response. Because their bodies feel pain, they use their main energy to control their pain. Therefore, it will be much slower than normal in responding to the master's response, showing a certain sluggishness. There must be something wrong with them that is causing them to react abnormally.
Second, listlessness, often shrinking into a ball. A normal dog gives us the impression that he doesn't care about anything. In fact, they also have a very introverted side. When they feel pain or discomfort, most of them will choose to sit quietly in a corner, or in their own nest, and tuck their bodies into a ball to enhance their sense of security. I don't want to pay attention to everything outside, and the same is true for the master. We should think that they are sick.
Third, the normally docile dog suddenly becomes irritable and hyperactive. A small number of dogs, when they feel physical discomfort, will not choose to endure quietly or suffer quietly, but will become restless and irritable mentally because of physical pain. In this way, it vents the pain in the body. Not only was he jumping up and down and fidgeting, but his attitude toward the master became bad. This happens mostly in underage dogs who are not yet mentally mature.
Fourth, the tongue pays attention to one position of the body. Among the animals around humans, only cats use their tongues to manage their hair. The dog is suddenly like a cat, focusing on licking a certain part of his body constantly, and that part must make it uncomfortable. They use their mouths to lick, which will reduce a certain amount of pain, both physically and psychologically. Finding this situation, we should carefully observe what is wrong with this part of it. in order to help them resolve their pain in a timely manner.
Therefore, as long as the dogs behave obviously abnormally, it can basically be concluded that there is something wrong with their bodies. Dogs can't talk, but they're unusually quiet, which speaks for itself. This also belongs to their behavioral expression, although they usually make demands to their masters in their own way. Only when they are sick, they choose to avoid their masters and endure them quietly.
