My small dog has abdominal pain and won't jump. What can I do?

Question

My small dog has been experiencing discomfort in her abdominal area starting this morning. She ate, doesn't appear to have diarrhea or vomiting. She won't jump up and she's acting differently like she is in distress. What can I give her in case it's a blockage? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 5 years and 10 months old | 13 lbs

If Maggie is not showing any signs from gastrointestinal tract, like vomiting or diarrhea, blockage will be a very unlikely explanation of her discomfort. If she has difficulties to jump, or if she is refusing to jump at all, I would suspect that she has spinal pain (which may look very similar to abdominal pain) or pain in the hind legs (hips, knees). If she continues to be uncomfortable and not herself, I would recommend to see your local vets to find out what is going on and give her the right treatment. At the moment, I don't think there are any remedies that you can treat her at home with.
