Why is my senior dog squealing in pain when touched or walking?

Question

Hello, Our dog Teddy has been making a squealing like sound as if he's in pain when touched and when walking. He is between the ages of 7 and 8 and will stop consistently when taken for a walk. We are extremely worried. Is there anything we can do? Will he survive this? Regards. Pet's info: Dog | Maltese | Male

Please have him assessed urgently for injury and inflammation by your vet. Fractures, dislocations, spinal disk disease and abscesses are just some of the possible causes of pain. He should receive urgent pain assessment and medications to help relieve his discomfort and suffering
