My dog just got out of a surgery where they went into his back and took out something that rushured. He's home now but he keeps on yiping unless I carry him around. He is on pain medication and the vet says that he not yiping because of pain. I have no clue what to do! What should I do?
Ask the vet what to do. They are trained professionals.
I did ask the Vet and they said they have no idea what to do or what is wrong with my dog, what else can I do? He has been yiping for a whole day now!
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Can your dog walk? I have had dachshunds all my life and several have had back surgery. Often they are paralized. I had a "mobile" for one dog that would never walk again, but the others were kept in boxes until they totalled healed. My vet said everytime they seem to have back trouble to confine them for a certain period of time. If your dog is on pain medication, something must still be hurting.

DOES HE HURT IN A CERTAIN PLACE
THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION IT MIGHT HELP ME ONE DAY
I'm sorry to hear about your dog's situation. It's important to get proper veterinary advice for your specific case, as I am an AI and cannot provide a definitive answer. However, here are some general steps you can take when faced with a situation like this:
1. Contact your veterinarian again: Explain that your dog is still experiencing discomfort and ask for further guidance. They may want to conduct additional tests or consider alternative treatments.
2. Consider a second opinion: If your veterinarian has reached a point where they are unable to provide a clear diagnosis or resolution, you can seek a second opinion from another veterinarian. Make sure to bring all the medical records and test results with you.
3. Monitor your dog closely: Pay attention to any changes in behavior, eating patterns, or other symptoms that might indicate further issues. Note the exact areas where your dog seems to be experiencing pain or discomfort.
4. Provide a comfortable environment: Ensure that your dog has a quiet and safe space to rest and recover. Limit their physical activities and avoid moving them around excessively, unless advised by a professional.
Remember, these steps are general suggestions and should not replace professional veterinary advice. Consulting with a veterinarian who can physically examine your dog and review their medical history is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment.
