I would neve assume my dog isn't hurt - expecially if they cry  - that is a sign of pain. It could be minor but still - crying is crying & you need to get her checked out if it's happening as much as you posted.
I'm only posting an opinion - but if one of mine started yelping for no reason we'd be AT the vets asap - no question about it.
ps...no - that isn't normal behaviour for a yorkie. |
I agree with V! With these little guys you can't assume anything. A couple of years ago, Gabby began yelping and whimpering and would just lay around the house, not active at all. I knew something had to be wrong so off to the vet we went the next morning. Turned out she had a herniated disk in her back and vet said it could have been from her jumping off the couch, jumping up excited (when we'd give her a treat), or she could have stepped wrong and twisted her back. She spent a couple days on iv meds and steroids and came home with more meds - cost us over $400 but it was worth it to have her pain taken care of. As V said, it can be anything and the safest bet is the sure bet - go to your vet and have him/her check your baby out.
Best of luck to you!! Please keep us posted.
