[matese]

When you picked her up how did you do it, did you put your hands around the middle of her body then lift her up? I ask this because, several years ago I had taken Matese to the vet forget the reason why. My usual vet was not on call that day, but I had the next best vet that I liked and trusted. I forget the reason why, but, he picked her up around her middle and she let out a little yelp, said Pancreatitis and had the tech run tests on her. I am saying BS, it's the way he picked her up. I have always picked up my dogs by scooping them up, right hand under butt, left hand under their front legs. On a couple of occasions a friend of mine had picked Matese up around her middle and she yelped, I thought their grasp must have been to tight, Matese was a 17 LB girl. As it turned out Matese did have Pancreatitis, I never saw her with an arched back tho, but it's just a thought. Even if the vets office calls you back, I would still bring her in, arched back does not sound good to me. Hopefully others with more knowledge on arched backs will offer up advise / suggestions.
