YT Addict | Help, Help, Something is wrong with my yorkie! We were playing and all the sudden I notice that he is walking funny! His little tail is bent over to his left and he's walking like a curve to the left side. He keeps trying to bite/itch that side near his rear, but I can't find anything there that could be itching him. Is something wrong with him? |

YT Addict | He's still doing it. He's not crying, but he doesn't normally walk like this. Usually his little tail is standing straight up and he walks mostly straight lol. But he's running fine, but when he slows down, his tail lays toward his left and he walks curved. |

| Check him real good in the area that he is trying to get at, sounds like he might have an itch, bite.. maybe a flea or tick? Something on his rear

| Maybe his anal sacks need to be expressed or does he have some dingleberries?

| It sounds like he may have hurt his back when he was playing. I'd call your vet tomorrow and get an appointment to have him checked. |

| It looks to me from the video that it is fleas! They will be fine and then it will itch so he will circle and bite and try to get it and then he's fine until the flea bites him again! You'll be able to put your mind at ease tomorrow, since the vet can check him out!

| Kayah used to do this after she took a poopie and had some stuck to her hair.. Evie does this sometimes if she gets a twig or leaf stuck in her hair.. did you check to make sure nothing's stuck in his fur or anywhere around his rump?

| I'd be more concerned about his back or hip. Its good you're going to the vet tomorrow. Since he doesn't seem to be in pain, it would seem okay to wait. Good luck.

| I'm with the others....could be a flea or stuck poop. By the by, could it be worms??? If so, he might need to be wormed. |
