Cries when picked up and shivers My 4 year old Yorkie has me worried. The past 48 hours he has been constantly lying down...not at all his usual playful self. On top of that when I pick him up to lay him on his back on my lap to rub his tummy he cries like he is in pain. Then he will shake for awhile after crying like he is scared. He walks, runs up and down stairs, eats and goes potty just fine. I have felt all over his body for any specific points of pain and nothing. It only seems to hurt when i pick him up and turn him on his back, stretching out his tummy. Any ideas?? A pulled muscle maybe? |
I'd say time to take your furbaby to the Vet. Could be something serious then maybe not. Either way you will get piece fo mind hopefully after talking to the Vet |
I would go to the Vet , shaking is usually a sign of pain perhaps something internal going on. |
I hope that you take this little one to the vet NOW. Any condition that continues for this long needs medical attention. Hope your darling is okay!!!! Sending good thoughts:love: |
Took my baby to the vet today. They think he strained something in his neck so anti anflammatories and limited activity for a week :/ Xrays next step if no improvement |
I'm so sorry to hear that your baby isn't feeling well. I hope that the anti-inflammatory medications help and that he's feeling better really soon. Hopefully this was just a muscle strain and nothing serious. |
I don't want to frighten you, but honestly, I would have an xray done before next week. There is a condition called Atlanto Axial Subluxation that can show up in yorkies...we have seen a few on YT this past year. They suddenly develop neck pain with that condition. Here is a link with information: ACVS - Atlantoaxial Instability While it very well might not be that, it is something I would want ruled out immediately if I had a pup with sudden neck discomfort. |

I think I would be cautiously fearful that this could be a possibility, have the dog tested/xrayed and the condition ruled out, then CELEBRATE that is turned out to be a simple sprain! |

My Zhoie was almost 3 when she started screaming with pain. I knew it was in her neck, ER vet did exam...didn't think it was her neck. I asked for a neuro referral. Neuro did a very rough exam and still didn't feel it was AAI. At that point, I insisted on a MRI, sure enough she had AAI. Please, please at least demand an xray to rule out the possibilty. |

You are so right Jeanie we learned the hard way with several visits to the Vet and hundreds of dollars later and no xray. To the OP again if there is no improvement demand an xray at the next visit or set up an appointment with a specialist. It will save you worry and expense in the long run. Please keep up posted. Prayers for you and your baby. |
Checking back to see if there's any update :confused: Continuing prayers for your little guy....how is he doing? Have you figured out what is going on yet? Please keep us posted, we are all worried and praying for your pup. |
How is your baby doing now ? |
I know this is an old thread but my sweet Lexie is displaying the exact same symptoms. When i came home lastnight she was like this, and was perfectly fine, happy and energetic before i left. Now she yelped when picked up, won't come when called, just wants to sit around and not play which is not like her at all. I touched her all over to check for the pain but i don't know where it's coming from. I'll be taking her to the vet but i'm so worried, the only thing she has ever had is an ear infection, she's been very healthy and energetic all her life. She turns 6 in a few days, my poor baby what's happened :( |
Candi, I'm sure it could be many things, but trust your instincts. I'm bringing Maggie home today from her back surgery for a herniated disc. She started acting weird, not wanting to do anything. She was clingy and shaking. A few years ago she had back pain and she actually hid, 2 days later she was fine. This time she just wanted to be with me, but not held. You can read my thread, but my point is when they act weird I think it is pain. Keep a close eye and find out where the best 24 hr vet is in case she takes a turn for the worse. Often back injuries can be relieved with rest and meds, sometimes not. I'm so glad I didn't give the meds more time to work and got another opinion. I don't know anything about the neck condition some have mentioned. Good luck! |
