Pain in Dogs and Its Relationship to Behavior
14.99 €
Few people think about the fact that dogs experience pain. One of the reasons for this is the tendency of dogs to suffer silently. Another reason is the fact that chronic pain manifests itself in subtle changes in behavior that can easily be confused with individual characteristics of the dog or a behavior problem.
Veterinarians also do not always notice the presence of pain. Therefore, they do not look for its source and focus their attention on getting rid of the symptoms.
As a result, the dog suffers silently until its pain becomes unbearable and is expressed more vividly - in lameness, refusal to cooperate, irritability, screaming, etc. Pain prevents the dog from calmly enduring separation and peacefully communicating with its relatives. Often, pain causes fear and aggression, which are traditionally considered behavioral problems that require training or punishment.
Veterinarian Patrick Blettler-Monnier (Switzerland) and trainer Katrin Lismont (Germany) have been helping dogs for many years. In doing so, they collect material about dogs with behavioral problems caused by pain.
This is how the book "Pain in Dogs" came about. It makes us think about the fact that our dogs suffer from pain much more often than we are used to thinking. Therefore, we are forced to reconsider the established idea of what a dog is telling us with its behavior.
If we do not take into account the pain aspect, all efforts aimed at solving behavioral problems turn into a waste of time and sometimes into a mortal danger for our pets.
