Why does my Chihuahua hurt, run in circles, and stomach growl?

Question

My 4 year old chuacha has been to the vet a lot and the vet can't figure out why my dog hurts. When he hurts he helps and runs in a circle it's like a bee is stinging him but he not. His stomach growls a lot then he hurts after barking a lot. Can u help me please. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | neutered | 3 years and 4 months old | 15 lbs

Poor Little Man. I recommend to have an x-ray to look for evidence of disease in his spine. This sudden pain could come from many things including intervertebral disc disease, discospondylitis, an anal gland infection or a pinched nerve. The x-ray could show evidence of the first two diseases. Discuss start medications like steroids and muscle relaxants with your vet as well. Have the anal glands checked as well. An omega 3 fatty acid supplement for dogs may also help but will not control the symptoms alone. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
