Please, Please contact me. Your baby sounds just like mine did. Mine Broke his neck and became paralyzed. He was diagnosed with AAI ( Atlantoaxial Instability) you can look this up on Petplace.com. Or you can come to our group that has some pups that have this disorder. My Babybear included. This is a congenital defect that goes undiagnosed a lot. My little guy was misdiagnosed more than once. Please contact me or come to our group. THe group name is Congenitaldogs@yahoo.com. Please if your pup has this it can be repaired.

I am having the same problem with my 3 yr old Yorkie. She yelps like she has been hurt and then runs to the opposite parent to be held. I have taken her to the vet twice and he could not find anything wrong. He gave her a shot of cortisone in her back twice saying that it could be from jumping off the couch. We don't let her jump anymore, but nothing has changed. She may be fine for a week, but then she wil yelp several times a day for two to three days. I am at a loss for what to do. She is not overweight. Help!!!

Welcome to Yorkie Talk. At the top of each forum (section), there is a blue button that says "New Thread." You won't see it when you are reading an individual thread. You have to be in the forum section.

Also, when you are new to the forum, your first few comments/threads are held for moderation and may not appear immediately. The moderation ends fairly quickly.

My baby Bruiser is doing the same thing. I took him to the vet immediately and he said he could find no joint or back or neck issues. He said he may have pulled a muscle or have a pinched nerve that only twinges occasionally without being picked up or being touched. I know he is having pain because he shakes afterward like he's afraid. Vet gave me anti inflammatory and said to keep him as still as possible, and to call back in a few days if the symptoms persist... Very worried...

Poor Bruiser! How old is he and how long has been doing this? Does he go back to normal shortly after the shaking? Does he walk normally, hold his head upright and straight? Does he show any problems moving his legs?

I see he is 5 years old. Sorry I missed that.
