Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Oh my Charlie is truly adorable. Signs of pain in dogs include lethargy, weakness, yelping, decreased appetite, hesitance to walk or move, hiding and/or crying out loud. If you are noticing that Charlie has any of these signs, have Charlie evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a great night!
