5. Losing Weight
6. Breathing Problems
7. Red Eye
8. Jaundice
9. Trouble Urinating
10. Urinating and Drinking Excessively
11. Fever
12. Seizure
13. Bleeding and Bruising
14. Coughing
15. Bloated or distended abdomen
16. Bloody Diarrhea
17. Bloody Urine
18. Bite Wounds
19. Bloody Vomit
20. Lethargy or Weakness
21. Pale Gums

I'd add unusual shortness of breath after exercise. It's a kind of a breathing problem, but not as noticeable as, say, wheezing or gasping or stridor, it's not exactly lethargy, but it can be a sign of heart failure or, as in Oppie's case, the beginnings of Laryngeal Paralysis.
