I have a two year old Ori Pei (Shar Pei and Pug Mix) and he always wants to play and get into things but last night in the middle of the night he woke me up crying out and moaning. He also always sleeps at my side and he moved to the end of the bed. Then this morning he has been very clingy and won't really do much and again just wants to sit there and stare at me instead of playing. I am not sure what to do and since it is a weekend my vets office is closed and I would have to take him to the emergency vet in town to have him looked at. I am just at a loss for what to do. I would appreciate any help.
Thank you,

Is he eating and drinking water? Throwing up? Does he have "the runs?" Does he appear to be in pain? Is he unsteady on his feet?

He is eating and drinking ok. I have felt all over him and he does not act like he is in pain but he pulls away from me when he usually cannot be close enough to me at all times when I sit down or lay in bed. Now he will just sit at the end of the bed and stare at the door. I took him for a walk which is his favorite thing to do and he was not as excited as usual but he did ok. Now he is just laying at the end of the bed and won't come near me. I have noticed that a couple of times in the past month he has vomited like three times or so. I thought it was just because he was cleaning himself and might have gotten too much hair in his throat or something. Becasue he is fine afterwards and it was just a very little bit.

The only thing that I can suggest is for you to watch him very closely. If you see any signs whatsoever that his condition is deteriorating, get him to that emergency vet! I know they charge outrageous prices but, you can't put a price on your dogs life.

As long as he keeps eating, drinking and eliminating normally, you will have to decide whether or not a trip to the emergency clinic is warranted. Nobody but you can make that decision. You know your dog best.

sounds to me like you may have just rolled onto him in your sleep and may have hurt him a little. Granted you would have been asleep but he would not understand that and now he is just staying away to avoid being hurt again.
