🐾 Dogs have a unique way of cooling off. Unlike humans whose sweat glands are found all over the body, dogs mostly sweat through their paws and nose! Panting also helps them dissipate heat through evaporative cooling . . . . who knew!??. 🌬️🐕
🐾 Animal Pain Awareness Month: Recognizing the Signs 🐾
September is Animal Pain Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the signs of pain in our pets. Animals often hide their pain, making it crucial for us to recognize the subtle signs. Here’s what to look out for:
1. Changes in Disposition 🐶: Increased aggression, anxiety, or withdrawal can indicate pain.
2. Altered Eating Habits 🍽️: A sudden loss of appetite or difficulty eating may be a red flag.
3. Mobility Issues 🐕: Limping, stiffness, or reluctance to move can signal discomfort.
4. Vocalization 🐱: Excessive whining, crying, or purring can be ways pets express pain.
5. Physical Changes 👀: Swelling, redness, or abnormal posture might point to underlying issues.
If you notice any of these signs, consult with us. Early detection and treatment can make a significant difference in your pet’s quality of life.
Let’s work together to ensure our pets live pain-free, happy lives. Share this post to help spread awareness!
