My dog yelps and acts scared when picked up. Could she be in pain?

Question

Hi. My dog is russian toy. She's 1 year old. She's eating, playing and etc but she started to yelp when someone try to pick her up. And scared to come to arms. She used to like it before. What's wrong with her? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 1 month old

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Besides this being behavioral, this could also be due to a medical issue such as a display of pain of some sort. I recommend that if this persists, you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for this possibility and treat him accordingly. This may require taking x-rays. Good luck and have a great day!
