the last couple of days my dog has been acting 100% normal except for one thing, she has been yelping - the same yelp she makes when hurt - or wants to get out of her crate.
anyway, when i look at her to see what's wrong- she stops and runs to me. i check her as best i can, see nothing and so i figured she'd figured out how to get my attention by yelping quickly.
she did it again this morning (it was the 3rd time) and it bothered me so i decided to bring it up at her appt which was today.
i mentioned it to the vet during her physical that she'd been doing that and he said to watch her and let him know if anything else changed because i'd need to come back. he didn't find anything wrong.
well, tonight i FINALLY caught her in the act (before i'd only hear it and it was like a .5 second yelp) about 30 mins ago.
she was curled up and yelping in pain - this time it was no quick yelp. her mouth was open and she had her legs up towards her face.
and looked like she was trying to bite at her bottom or stomach...it was hard to tell with all the squirming.
OMG! i'm going to doctor first thing tomorrow, but does anyone know what this could
possibly be? has anyone experienced this before?
is it a tapeworm (can they cause this kind of pain), cramps, or something?! my mind is all over the place!!!!
she is going into heat right now - in case that matters.
and she is 1 years old.
my poor baby! i'm so worried!!!
p.s. what kind of pet insurance are you all using? i think i'm going to get some. this has my nerves on edge.
