Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 4 years and 7 months old | 12 lbs
Hello, My dog has been having stomach issues. Her tummy tightens up, she walks with her back up, and grunts in pain. I took her to the vet. They did blood work and xrays and said everything was normal. They recommended a bland diet. I did that along with pumpkin puree and nothing has changed. It has been almost 2 weeks now. Any advice you can give?

As she is unspayed i strongly suspect a uterine infection, it can often be missed on blood test and xray. i strongly recommend taking her urgently to the vet for a recheck, an ultrasound needs to be done and bloods needs to be repeated, if this is what i suspect, she will need an emergency surgery to have her uterus removed.
