I went out of town for a couple of days and I sent my dog to the kennel. When we got him home yesterday, I noticed that every time he jumped out of my lap or off the couch, or off of anything, he would cry. He also cries when I touch him, like when I tried to move him last night so I could roll over in bed. The kennel lady said he was a good dog and there wasn't any problems. She trimmed his nails, but I looked at them and none of his nails are too short. Something is hurting him and I can't figure out what it is. I wanted to ask you guys what yall thought first before I took him to the vet and spent lots of money.

It sound like he just had a lot of exercise and it made all his muscles sore. Try giving him an asperin and if you have a heating pad, put it on low and lay it on him for a few minutes in different places. If this doesn't help in a couple of days, I deffinitely would take him to the Vet. It sounds like he had to much fun at the kennel.
Good luck with the little guy.

I don't know if it would be the problem or not...Most kennels I have seen...they don't really have room to run and play. They will take them outside every so often to get fresh air, but that's about it...it's that way here anyways. It may be diff. from where your at. Sounds like your baby may have possibly sprung/sprain something....is he favoring any of his legs? Limping?....maybe also have one of your family members hold him, while you press lightly over his body and see where the source of the pain is coming from...then inspect that area..and if you don't see anything odd..I would def. take him to see the Vet. Let us know how he does....good luck.

I checked all of his legs and paws, when I grabbed them, he didn't cry. I think it has something to do with his ribs. He wont eat or anything. He just lays around. He will move to different places to lay, but thats it. If he is still acting this way tomorrow, I am going to take him to the vet.
