My dog has neck and body pain, struggling to walk. What's wrong?

Question

Hello, My dog is in a lot of neck and body pain. He is struggling to walk or turn his neck. I think he has overdone it with exercise today running after the ball. What do you advise? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Labrador | Male | unneutered | 34 lbs

I would recommend having Dougal examined by a vet ASAP. These symptoms could be caused by muscle strain, or could be associated with a slipped disc or other serious musculoskeletal issue. The vet will do an exam and may need x-rays to look at the neck and spine. They can prescribe pain medications or other mediations based on what they think is going on.
