Why does my dachshund hurt when I pick her up? Is it her back?

Question

My dog chocolate sides are hurting when you pick her up. She is eating and drinking fine. She is pooping and peeing mostly like normal. Her nose is wet. She is a miniature dachshund. She she will be 7 in March. I'm just really concerned about her being in pain. No vomiting and diarrhea or fever.

I'm sorry to hear that Chocolate is hurting! Being that she is a dachshund, there's always a concern for a back injury. I would recommend to keep her quiet tonight and do now allow her to do any jumping or stairs. You can apply warmth to the area and gentle massage. Get her in to the veterinarian tomorrow for an exam. The doctor may recommend radiographs and medications. Pancreatitis can also look similiar and they may recommend a test for that as well. Thank you so much for using Pet Coach!
