Why is my dog whimpering but showing no obvious signs of pain?

Question

My dog just started whimpering yesterday. Originally, I thought he had a thorn since the yard is full of them. He isn't limping or snapping when I feel his body for anything abnormal. What could be a reason? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | 3 years and 4 months old

There are many reasons a dog may whimper without showing obvious signs of illness. Sometimes it is due to a mildly upset tummy, constipation, or any other injury or disease that causes pain. If you have felt all over his body and he seems quite bright in himself, I would simply keep a close eye on him. If you notice any signs developing such as lameness, inappatence, vomiting etc head to the vet for an examination.
