ok my lurcher pup he is neary 14month old now.works great,touch wood no serious injurys or limping or stuff.a few times now.prob 5 times since i got him he has been lying on the floor or on the sofa.when he suddenly starts yelping,he is obviously in pain.it only lasts less than a minute.ive checked him all over,nothing.even pressed his belly.maybe thought he was a bit binded.nothing!

 

anyone any ideas,im not going to a vet cause its obviously nothing life threatning.im toying with the idea growing pains?

Its a good chance it is cramp, make sure the dog drinks regular and possibly put a small amount of electrolytes in his water.

my last dog was the same it happened a bit more than 5 time though i took him to the vets and the total bill was 270 just to tell me in the end that it was just the dog cramping up

My dog used to do the same if he'd been lying on his leg a certain way for a while. I put it down to him being a big fecking baby and panicking if his leg went to sleep, got cramped or he had pins and needles in it. He grew out of it.

My old bitch used to do that after a night or two's hard running.

Turned out it was a trapped nerve, I took it to a woman I know who runs greyhounds etc and she sorted it out.

 

She would just be walking then let out a scream all of a sudden.

its probably because the vet had seen my dog before and new he was insured

yea f**k sheeling out a cpl hundred quid to tell me its cramp mate.like i said its only on the odd occasion he does it.other than that he is tip top.

 

just looked it up and apparently cramp is caused by 3 main things : - dehydration- lack of potassium - lack of vitamin DSo if you make sure the dogs has plenty of liquid you will combat the dehydration. For the potassium feed raisins, a handful of rasins contains double the amount a banana does. As for vitamin D - milk and sunshine are both great sources. Hope this helps scot, horrible to see your pride and joy in pain aint it
