He cried in bed if you accidently bumped him. Thinking his intestinal problem was getting worse, I took him to the vet today. As it turns out his pain was not from the worms or anything, but he threw his back out humping on his big stuffed animal.
I told the vet that's when I noticed he started being in pain. It cost me $200.00, and I learned a lesson today. The vet said they can really hurt themselves doing that, and not to let him hump anything including pillows.
Just thought I would pass this along. Anyway, he's on pain med's and should be feeling better with lots of rest. |
I thought humping was a natural part of the doggie world. Even my females hump...it's a dominance thing. As long as it's not continual, it normally shouldn't hurt anything. By the by, I did take my male Yorkie to the vet once because his penis kept protruding. The vet thought he may have had some hairs hung up or something. He got everything tucked back in and told me to use a little ointment on the tip for awhile to keep him comfortable.
Off the subject, but where is everyone getting those snowmen and Christmas tree icons?
