I like the way you stated this and it covers a lot. I was wondering if refusal to eat should be added, they have refusal to drink after 24 hours, but they don't state refusal to eat. Wouldn't refusal to eat be an important symptom?
I also think what you said, "eye discoloration, swelling, prolonged squinting" should be added.
By the way, when you click on one of the links, it gives more detailed information. Like number 9. Obvious signs of pain or anxiety links you to this page.

“Irregular behavior patterns are often the first sign that your pet is ill or in pain.”
Along with the pain symptoms Aldridge mentioned, these are some of the other signals to look for, according to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA):
Enlarged pupils
Flattened ears
Hair standing up in places
Restlessness
Excessive panting when resting
Repetitively getting up and lying down again
Continually licking or scratching one particular area
Call your vet if your dog is showing any of these signs.

Maybe writing this under 9 might be helpful, some people won't click on the links, they think the word is underlined for emphasis and don't realize they could learn more if the clicked on it.
