My pet yelps when touched, won't eat, and stays standing. Is it pain?

Question

My pet looks depressed and yelps when I touch the back part of her body. I tried giving her feeding her but she doesn't move. She just stays standing.

I recommend that you take your pet to your local veterinarian for an examination and blood work. There are numerous reasons an animal may have pain in the lower part of her body, including kidney infection/stones, degenerative disc disease, spains/strains, osteoarthritis, or trauma, etc. Often, lack of eating is a sign of pain or distress. Once your pet's source of pain/discomfort is diagnosed and treated, you pet will be more likely to eat again.
