This morning as I was getting up, it was about 9:30 AM and we were a couple of hours late for the middle of the night meds, he woke up and came crawling to me screaming and crying, and he would NOT let me touch him or pick him up, then a little later he let me pick him up and I ran down the hall with him and gave him Hydrocodone and flovent and Gabapentin and Trazadone. Now he is sleeping. I simply don't know what this could be. The doctor doesn't know either as he did not react at all after 48 hours of observation the last time I brought him in with those symptoms. I don't know what to do and I am going crazy. I need to find the cause of his pain or maybe just difficulty breathing. He has some loose teeth, he has some arthritis, he hasn't been groomed for a while so his nails might be very long. Could he have had a nightmare? What other things could cause pain like that and then go away and appear intermittantly and then disappear for awhile? I just don't know what to do. It's killing me that he has pain and we can't even treat it because nobody knows what it is. I am beside myself. Does anyone have any suggestions about who might be able to explore what this is? I don't know what to do. I am lost. Even my internist says she can't find anything. Any help would be appreciated

Sounds awful. Sounds like a crazy mixture of drugs. I have NO idea. It all seems so confusing to me. You posted about pain and then all at once he was at the vet for breathing issues. Just because he did not have symptoms in 48 hours in a kennel is not a way to rule out a condistion.
Have any of these vets checked his spine? It really sounds like he may have some kind of neuro thing going on. That's about all I could think of.
I would insist on a thorough spinal exam and possibly MRI if they elicit painful areas on exam. Even a regular xray may show some spinal changes....just not the best way.
