My dog is yelping in pain, won't move, and won't eat. What's wrong?

Question

My cocker spaniel won't get out of bed, when I tried to lift her out, she yelped as though she was in pain. Days before she was happy and even greeting us, now she won't even come when we call. She won't eat unless is dog cookies and it's fed to her. I don't know what is wrong.

She could have be having neck or back pain, abdominal pain, orthopedic pain, etc. She should be examined by a vet to determine the cause. Your vet can do a physical examination to localize the pain and then take x-rays, if needed, to help diagnose. She may need an anti-inflammatory and pain medications to relieve her discomfort. Hope she feels better soon!
