I think we've figured out the yelping, but we ARE doing a scan during spay to be on the safe side. I think it happens when she's backed up, quite honestly. The colon is in that area? An x-ray when her bad GI issue happened showed she was seriously backed up. Showed me the colon on the x-ray. She spent four days going (solid) poop four times a day- seriously, after switching her to the z/d. I used canned, and boy, it really helped. I picked her up and touched that area, absolutely zero pain. I then observed her snap at my daughter, so.. I think it's a combo. Yes, we are training her. I actually had to do the alpha roll on her, which I REALLY didn't want to do. It worked, and is helping the biting. any way, thank you. The scan of the spine IS getting done.
