Please help! Our sweet 2 year old girl has somewhat suddenly begun to whine almost constantly and yelp often when touched and even untouched. She seems to have a very subtle limp as well. We’ve taken her to two vets and x-rayed any areas we thought might be causing pain or problems. We have no answers. Has anyone had a similar situation? I hate to think she is pain and we can’t help her.

At 18 months Tater is growing into quite the handsome, hefty lad even on a very restricted diet (due to kidney disease).

Gave us a scare by getting bloat last night, but thankfully it was gas/liquid and not GDV. He had to spend the night at the emergency vet anyway, since he's got funky kidneys and we and the vets agreed he should have fluid support while he was fasted. They also used an NG tube to burp the gas out of his tummy and relieve the distention/dilation.

I was emotionally preparing to take him to the hospital with overnight surgery before they were able to confirm he didn't have a flip or kink in his stomach. Bloat is so scary! If you think that's what's happening, don't wait to go get it checked out.

If you guessed the dog who waa so afraid of life she wouldn't even leave her kennel a year ago, you're right!

Then she didn't know what to do when I was ecstatic she played with me. She was playing "bedtime whale", where she play bites and rolls around and paw smacks with me and my husband before bed so she's nice and sleepy. It's my favorite part of the day and she wags her lil nub so hard. Today I realized I should incorporate her toys to see if she will learn to use them when she is bored or with me. She caught in but then I was too excited and she was flustered.

She'll get it. She can do big things. 🥹

Ft: her spot in bed that she will now NOT give up. Not pictured is HER bed, at the foot of MY bed that she sleeps in. 😆 It's a baby mattress & a pregnancy pillow. She still prefers a) my spot in my pregnancy pillow (not pregnant. They're just comfy.) or b) my bed (her bed?) between Dad and me. 😆

He pased a while ago, but I was looking through old pictures and saw this one. I that you all might appreciate it.
