DH and I went out this evening, just to grab tea. We were gone for a maximum of 90 minutes. Lovely dogs were let home alone, in a dog-friendly room.
Got home to find littlest dog in pain. My gorgeous (usually healthy) boy, who isn't yet two, seemed to be in pain. He's not jumping up, or giving both paws when asked. His movements seem slower, more considered and he is giving us some unusual vocalisations. I am worried about him.
I don't think it's his legs, or paws, he's not showing signs of discomfort when I'm giving them a feel.
I think it's his back, chest or abdominal region. (Not narrowing it down much). He is eating if we take him his food - he's usually very food motivated so for him not to get up for a treat is a bit of a worry. I wonder if we'd jumped and landed funny, or eaten something odd, but I just can't pin down what it is that is causing him pain.
They usually sleep separately to us, but I'm sleeping with the dogs tonight and taking him to the vet first thing.
Any words of wisdom or hand holding would be gratefully appreciated. He's so dear to us that I hate to think of him hurting in any way.
