- Howling
- Snarling

Correct Answer

A. Licking wound

Licking also stimulates blood flow to the area, which can reduce inflammation and pain. Additionally, the action of licking releases endorphins, which can provide a calming effect for the dog.

What happens to the eyes of a dog in pain?
- Pupils become bigger
- Pupils become sore
- Eyes become brighter
- Eyes become darker
Correct Answer

A. Pupils become bigger

Explanation

When a dog is in pain, their pupils become bigger. This is a physiological response known as mydriasis, which occurs due to the activation of the sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "fight or flight" response, and when a dog is in pain, it triggers this response, causing their pupils to dilate. This allows more light to enter the eyes, enhancing their ability to detect potential threats or dangers in the environment.

A. Altered breathing

Explanation

Altered breathing is a sign of pain associated with respiration. When an individual is in pain, their breathing pattern may change. They may experience shallow or rapid breathing, or even hold their breath momentarily. This alteration in breathing is a physiological response to pain and can be an indication that the individual is in distress. Restlessness, withdrawal, and difficulty resting are also signs of pain, but they are not specifically associated with respiration.
