But the animal was not in pain. Look at the photo: the dog is resting comfortably on the floor. Dogs don’t act macho and “hide pain.” They scream unendurably if in any kind of pain.

Dogs *may* scream if they are in pain, but dogs are also well known for hiding it; it's a survival technique common to many animals.

Other signs of pain include (but are not limited to):

• Whimpering or vocalizing

• Becoming quiet, withdrawn, and inactive

• Showing uncharacteristic aggressiveness when approached (an attempt to protect themselves from further pain)

• Holding the ears flat against the head

• Increased licking of a painful/sensitive area

• Decreased appetite

• Reluctance to walk, run, climb stairs, jump, or play

• Stiffness or limping

• Lagging behind on walks

• Unexpected reactions when touched

• Changes in personality

And dogs are good chiropractors aren’t they? They know when they spines are being lovingly damaged...don’t they?
