Urgency:S.O.S.!

Asked by: Carla M. (SayNo2puppymills) 5 months ago

Ok, so everything is great, he's house trained,goes outside to do his thing..He comes when I call him, Then, one night before bed I bring him outside..I was 3 feet away from him when all of a sudden he runs past me yelping with his tail between his legs..I check him from head to toe..nada. Ever since that night about a week ago he doesn't want to go outside. I have to carry him most of the time. I took him to the vet 2x $273 she can't find anything wrong. Maybe he stepped on a bee? He pooped in the house twice since that night and peeped once. I even tried to lure him with filet mignon! I think I need a shrink for my dog. He is traumatized from what ever happened. It really sucks. Anybody have any suggestions?? He's a Peke and he is so stubborn, if he doesn't want to do something he won't budge..My dog is about 3yrs. I adopted him in Nov.07.He was rescued from a puppy mill in Missouri.

Just keep taking him out, try walking him around he yard on a leash, something scared him but don't lose patience or pull him around on the leash it will just make it worse, their all different just like people, look at al the people terrified of dogs, to stp the accidents just walk him down the street and keep trying the yard or just sit out there if you have time and read or something and ignore him maybe he'll get bored and go. Good Luck

Sounds to me like he was bitten by a bee. Keep trying to take him out. It may pass.

Sounds like he came across a "night crawler" an insect or something that spoofed him badly. I've got a cocker spaniel and he's kinda the same way (without the indoor incidents). Very picky on where he goes, so at times I'll give him a nice late afternoon walk. Try a nice "leisure" walk with him and taking him out before dark. How old is your dog, btw? Hope he gets better.
