Senior dogs often do not cry out or make it obvious when they are hurting. More often, they communicate through subtle changes in movement, behavior, posture, sleep, and daily habits. What many people assume is simply old age can sometimes be a sign of discomfort or pain.
If your senior dog refuses food in their bowl but eagerly eats from a plate, you’re not alone. It’s a common quirk that leaves many caregivers wondering if it's pickiness or something more.
