Although we wish our pets could talk to us, they can’t. But those who own a dog know that our pets can give us signals to express how they are feeling via body language. Curious how to pick up on knowing when your dog is not feeling 100%?
Here are the most common signs that your dog is sick:
Vomiting or Diarrhea
Vomiting and or Diarrhea is the most common sign of your dog being sick. These symptoms can be caused by a range of problems that can either be mild or life threatening, so make sure to monitor your dog and its stomach if they are experiencing these signs of illness.
Increased or Decreased Urination
A dog who is potty trained won’t suddenly be having accidents inside the house unless for a good reason. Next time you start sensing a change in urination patterns in your pet pay attention, especially in senior dogs as these could be a sign of illness.
Change in Drinking Habits
When you sense your dog drinking more or less water on a certain day this could be a sign of illness. Drinking too little water throughout the day could be a sign your dog isn’t feeling well. Drinking too much water throughout the day can be a sign of a fever, diabetes or other health problems. By monitoring your dog’s water intake you can be aware of any signals of illness before the problem becomes severe.
