I know he is probably in some pain, but also the reason he could be walking away from you when you go to pick him up is that he knows that in the last couple of days someone has had contact with him he has been given medicine or taking the test at the vet, he just may also be scared that you are going to do more stuff to him that he doesn't like. When I first got my baby Otis from the breeders he had a cold and I took him to the vet 3 or 4 times to get him better and he had to be put on some meds and everytime I would go to pick him up he would walk backwards away from me and take off in the other direction because he knew I was going to give him medication or take him to the vet. He was just afraid I was going to do something to him that he didn't like because we also had to take his temp. which he hated.. So, your baby just may be a little afraid that something is going to be done to him and he probably does hurt a little bit too. Hopefully, in a couple more days he will start feeling better about things and not turn away from you.... Otis still does it sometimes if he thinks I have something in my hands. I try to get down on the floor to his level and then try to pick him up it makes him a little more comfortable because I don't like a huge giant to him on the floor. Maybe you could try this and see if he is any better.... |
