Vet investigates and he might have a RMI to see whats wrong with his back.
I have to keep him at strict rest( i put his bed in a baby play pen) and he is not allowed to move too much.
If any of you had experienced this please let me know.
Thank you yorkie lovers |
Oh, that's so terrible! Your poor baby. No doubt your vet has checked him several times within the last two years after his behavior changes of snapping at other dogs, stress from other dogs when on leash etc., as most owners know changes in behavior can indicate pain, illness/injury as most dogs are so stoic and don't readily show pain unless it is severe or unexpected/sudden.
Of course, since he just recently began crying out in pain with a tense tummy, it could be that his physical problems are relatively recent as one would think he might show additional behavior issues such as isolating himself at times, being clingy to you at times and an unwillingness to walk, play or jump if he were in much pain and you acted the moment you sensed an acute problem. Still, it's awful if his physical problems were missed for two long years by everyone, including his own vet and the pet behaviorist. Poor little guy. I hope the MRI doesn't show any real damage and he's got some post-traumatic or early-onset arthritis, a recent back strain/sprain or something medically and not surgically treatable.
Please keep us updated and we'll be praying for your little boy.
