My dog whimpers and shakes when touched. Is he injured or in pain?

It sounds like from your description that poor Trigger is painful and reluctant to move. When you stand him up, he will walk, but it appears he doesn't want to do it on his own. There could be a couple of places that are hurting him such as his neck, spine, hips, or legs. I recommend resting him for the next 48 hours. No running, jumping, or playing. Take him out to toilet on a lead only, and bring him right back in when he's done. If he still appears painful after this time, then I would take him into the vet for an exam. The vet can diagnose where the pain is coming from, and can dictate a treatment plan for it. He may also benefit from some pain medications, which the vet can prescribe. Please do not give him any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

It could be Mac is painful from his play in the snow, and may have injured himself. I recommend resting him for the next 48 hours. No running, jumping, or playing. Take him out to toilet on a leash, and bring him right back in when he's done. If he still appears painful after this time, then I would take him into the vet for an exam.

It sounds like Simba was painful if he was favoring one leg. I recommend resting him for the next 48 hours. No running, jumping, or playing.

Poor Brutus! It could be he may be sore from a very busy week, and it's making it a little harder for him to get up and walk. He could also have a problem with his hips and/or legs. I would rest for the next 48-72 hours. Keep him indoors and quiet as possible, taking him out to toilet on a lead only and bring him right back in when he's done. No running or jumping. If he is still having problems getting up and walking after 72 hours, or he can't get up at all, becomes extremely lethargic, or develops other symptoms such as limp, I would take him into a vet right away.

Boba may have overdone it. Rest him for the next 48 hours. No running, jumping, or playing. Take him out to toilet on a leash, and bring him right back in when he's done. If he still appears painful after this time, then I would take him into the vet for an exam. The vet can diagnose where the pain is coming from, and can dictate a treatment plan for it.

Oh no! Brut does sound quite uncomfortable and in pain! He could have developed a soft tissue injury while swimming and needs anti-inflammatories/pain medication. It could be related to neck, back, or even tail pain if you are not seeing him limp on one particular leg. Neck and back pain is incredibly painful and often requires aggressive pain treatment. I would recommend you take him in to your vet for an exam to try to pin point the source of pain. He likely needs medication to help alleviate his pain and inflammation and get him back to his normal self. I do not recommend over the counter human medication as most can be quite toxic to dogs. Good luck with Brut! I hope he feels better and is swimming again soon!

It could be Betsie is painful, and may have been laying on his leg causing the pain. I recommend resting him for the next 48 hours. No running, jumping, or playing. Take him out to toilet on a leash, and bring him right back in when he's done. If he still appears painful after this time, then I would take him into the vet for an exam.
