Why is my puppy hunching and yelping? Is he in pain when picked up?

Question

I've asked before, but I have a picture attached this time my puppy has been hunching over like this. Any reason why? I picked him up, and he yelped. Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 3 days old

Sweet puppy! If he is yelping then I would be concerned about him being in pain. He looks like it may be neck or back pain. Make sure he is still eating and drinking. If he is in a lot of pain, he may not. There are no human meds you can give as most are toxic to dogs. I would recommend to have your vet examine him and see exactly where he may be pain and prescribe him some pain medications that are safe for him. I hope this helps!
