Pain in dogs and its relationship to behavior
14.99 €
Few people realize that dogs experience pain. One reason for this is their tendency to suffer silently. Another reason is that chronic pain manifests itself in subtle behavioral changes that can easily be mistaken for individual characteristics or a behavioral problem.
Veterinarians also don't always notice pain. Therefore, they don't look for its source and focus on relieving the symptoms.
As a result, the dog suffers silently until its pain becomes unbearable and manifests itself more vividly—in lameness, uncooperativeness, irritability, screaming, etc. Pain interferes with separation anxiety and peaceful interactions with other dogs. Pain often leads to fear and aggression, which are traditionally considered behavioral problems requiring training or punishment.
Veterinarian Patrick Blöttler-Monnier (Switzerland) and trainer Kathrin Lismont (Germany) have been helping dogs for many years. At the same time, they collect data on dogs with behavioral problems caused by pain.
This is how the book "Pain in Dogs" came about. It forces us to consider that our dogs suffer from pain much more often than we usually think. Therefore, we are forced to reconsider our established understanding of what a dog's behavior tells us.
If we fail to consider the pain aspect, all efforts aimed at resolving behavioral problems turn into a waste of time and sometimes even a mortal danger for our pets.
