My dog is holding her neck very tightly and wont look up when I stand above her. I dont think she got into anything as we have 3 other dogs both bigger & smaller and they are all fine. She also has yelped twice today when we tried to pick her up-and keeps pacing back and forth. She is a rat terrier and is normally a bit antsy but she never does the chihuahua type shake-and this shaking is only on the neck.I have been home all day and have no idea whats wrong with my girl.Any ideas?

NO,she has not been like this all day- this just started-geez you folks sure do jump on someone quickly. Shes not shaking all over- it seems like just in her neck area. I have left a message with our vet and am waiting to hear back,as there is no emergency or after hours vet within 2 hours of my house,so if you know of anything I can do till I hear back from our town vet ,that would be much appreciated- thanks for your help!

glad you called the vet just try to make her comfortable until you hear from vet maybe a warm not hot compress it sounds like she is in pain but don't give her people medicine things like tylenol are toxic to dogs try and remain calm she can sense your worry just reassure her and yourself I am sure the vet will tell you what to do I hope everything works out alright

You have been home all day and she has been like this? I hope that is not what you ment. You should take her to a vet. Obviously she is in some sort of pain. Why let her suffer? It could be something serious! Call the vet, there is nothing anyone can do for you here.

Sounds like she hurt her neck--a pinched nerve or injured disk. Muscle spasms from this can be severe. The vet will probably x-ray, give steroids and muscle relaxers. Just keep her quiet and comfortable until he sees her--no jumping!

good first don't be afraid to quite hit him now not a punch however now not a faucet both simply simply kinda evenly hit him on his little tooshie and he must quit if he does not placed him again in his cage and inform him he was once unhealthy and has to stick in there for a bit of at the same time puppies are similar to folks you ought to be verbal and commonly phisical however now not abusive.

put her in a crate and keep her quiet until they call you back. She might have pulled something, check her to see if anything is sticking in her, dogs run into stuff sometimes...
just keep her calm and quiet until they can advise you.
sorry to hear about her being like that, it must be kind of scary to watch.

I hope your girl will be okay. This may be late but... maybe she has something stuck in her throat. A piece of food or something like that. Try giving her a tiny piece of soft bread, it might help it go down.
I hope you've heard from the vet by now and she's okay.

Take her to the vet immediately for crying out loud!

Could she have been bitten by something? Or it could be a muscle strain. It sounds like she is in pain (the pacing).
Hope she is better soon.
