Why is my Boston Terrier yelping and can't get comfy when moving?

Question

My Boston terrier was fine yesterday but now he yelps when moving a certain way or when jumping up. He can't get comfy and he will eat but not drink like usual. He had a bowl movement earlier today. What could it be? Vets are so expensive here. Not sure what to do. Pet's info: Dog | Boston Terrier | Male | unneutered | 7 years and 8 months old | 25 lbs

Thank younfor submitting your question regarding Oochie. I am worried with the symptoms that you have described. I do recommend that he sees a veterinarian. Small breed dogs are prone to back pain. This can be very painful and cause a dog to yelp, not want to move, be reluctant to do stairs or jump and be less likely to eat. The veterinarian will examine him to determine if this is the case or if there is another issue. In the meantime, carry him if possible and bring food and water to him. Do not give any over-the-counter pain medications as these can be toxic to dogs. I hope this information helps!
