Hi Sudharshan. It could be Jakky is in pain. Please do not give him any human pain relievers, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. I would take him into a vet now to get checked out. Best of luck.

    Thank you for submitting your question regarding Jaspy. Based on your description he could be experiencing neck or back pain. This is common in small breed dogs and can be excruciatingly painful. Most dogs will have a decreased appetite, be reluctant to move, jump or do stairs. Some will tremble with pain. In worst case scenarios, some dogs will experience weakness or paralysis in one or more legs. He will need to see a veterinarian to determine if this or something else is causing his signs. In the meantime, keep him quiet and carry him as much as possible. Do not give any over-the-counter pain medication as these can be toxic to dogs. I hope this information helps!
