Dog always crying.

[chickentrains]

He lays down and whines and sighs all day. Is he hurting? he's 10, old for a XL dog. He has awful joints, cant even use his own legs right.


I dunno what else to do for him. he's on two hip and joint meds.

Does he randomly have angry/aggression moments? Maybe all of a sudden loudly chances off another animal if they get too close.

If he is crying he hurts. Some of the cannibus medications are helpful. You need to talk to the vet about better pain management.

No, he just whines all day, every day.

What Cassie said.

Is he on Rimadyl or has the vet suggested using it for pain?

Well, no doubt he is in pain. Find something from the vet to ease it or you know what you got to do. Suffering is not a life. I do not say that to be hard or cold. Quite the opposite.

It's been said ... He's in pain. What meds are he on? Are they from the Vet or over the counter? Need to consult a Vet. Perhaps a heating pad under the sheets to help with the cold, or a warming bed.

Talk to a vetranarian. I'm sorry that it's happening to him and i'm glad kitty friend is there for him.

I also think you should check with a vet to make sure it is joint pain.

Among his many other health issues, my 15 year old dog has arthritis in his neck, shoulders, back, hips, and knees. He gets an adjustment and laser acupuncture every other week. He gets glucosamine chews and CBD treats. If you're looking for a good brand, I recommend Rocky Mountain Girls Hemp. I have been very satisfied with all their products that I've tried. I've used them on my dogs, myself, and my horses. I can tell when my dog is in pain, and if needed he gets extra CBD.

With all his joint issues the only time my dog whines is when he gets stressed or confused. He has dementia and gets stressed out by changes in his routine or when he can't find me. He gets Rescue Remedy to relieve stress.
