Why is my 6-year-old dog uncomfortable sitting but still active?

This may be a sign of pain either her hips or knees or tail or back end area. you can look for any redness or swelling around her rectum or under her tail. Make sure her tail moves well in all directions without causing pain. Monitor for any diarrhea, as straining can cause irritation. If she is walking well and still acting normally, you can try to get her to lay down and rest if that helps. If not, then she may need to seen by a vet to find the cause.

It sounds like your dog is uncomfortable or painful from some reason. He may have a back injury, a disc problem, or hip problem, or even abdominal pain. Your pet needs to be seen by your vet for an exam, bloodwork, and possibly x-rays to determine the cause for your pet's symptoms and get him stated on treatment.

Hi. It would definitely be helpful to have a little more information about her age and breed and her location. But I will help as much as possible with the information we have. She is showing signs of being uncomfortable. This can be due to pain or inflammation somewhere. A lot of times with the signs that you are describing, I find pets will have an anal gland problem. This is where their anal glands, which are their scent glands, become full and irritated and cause the pets to become uncomfortable if they can't get them to express. The other common finding in these situations is pain somewhere. The only way to get down to the bottom of it is to schedule an examination with your veterinarian. They will then be able to help guide what could be causing this problem for her. I also recommend that they check her anal glands. If you have more information, or further questions, feel free to open up a consultation good luck

Poor Bud! It sounds like he is uncomfortable if he's not settling, and may be experiencing some pain in his hips or back. I would rest him tonight, no running or jumping, and take him out to toilet on a lead only, bringing him right back in when he's done. If he is still like this in the morning, I would take him into the vet for an exam. The vet can do a physical exam, a lameness exam, and possibly x-rays to determine if there is a musculoskeletal problem causing him to be uncomfortable.

Poor Zuko! It could be he has a problem with his hips, spine, or ligaments in his back legs causing him difficulty getting up . He's showing you he's in pain with this behavior, and this needs to be checked out by a vet. I'd take him into a vet on Monday. The vet can prescribe pain medication as needed. Please do not give him any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. I hope this helps!

That sounds like Toby may be in pain or feeling uncomfortable in the hind end or back, especially if he is shaking, seems in distress, and is abruptly sitting or having trouble walking normally. It's a good idea to bring him into your vet for an exam and to have the back checked as back issues are very common in "long" breeds such as Dachshunds. Your vet can help check for any pain, inflammation, swelling, or arthritis that could be potential causes.

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Danny. Sounds like he is having some pain and discomfort near the rear of his body. This could be many things including hip or joint pain, anal gland problems, problems associated with the gastritis as you described, etc. I would advise that you take Danny in to your vet and let them get a thorough history and then perform a physical exam. Possible tests that they may suggest would be a rectal exam, orthopedic exam of the rear legs, anal gland evaluation, fecal tests, blood tests, and possibly x-rays to evaluate his hips. Once a diagnosis is made, a sound treatment plan can be discussed. Good luck with Danny.
