Default Dog yelping in pain but can't identify why?

Hi,

My pup is 6 months old and has been yelping in pain for about 2 weeks.
He has visited the vet twice, had two physical exams and an x ray but
the vet has not identified anything physically wrong with the dog.

He has been taking a pain reliever and something to reduce swelling.
The pup is not yelping all the time just occasionally making it
difficult to isolate it to any one area of his body. He seems to yelp
more when he is moving then when he is lying down.

One minute he is playing with a Kong ball the next he is walking
around yelping in pain.

Any ideas?

Yeah - second opinion. If you've got access, try a
veterinary college teaching hospital, where they tend to
have a bunch of specialists and current knowledge. How have
you determined that it's pain, have you any sense of whether
the problem is skeletal or internal, have the
anti-inflammatories helped at all, etc.? *Huge* number of
questions. I'd really try another vet.

Are you sure it's a pain-induced yelp? I agree with Melinda, a second
opinion is a good idea. You might want to start writing in a journal
about each yelping episode, noting exactly what the pup is doing at
the time of the yelping, what he was doing just prior to the yelping,
and what else may be going on at the time. It may help the vet make a
better diagnosis. Teething can cause a puppy to yelp, too, especially
when an adult tooth comes in, and his chewing on the Kong may have
triggered something along those lines.

That's an *excellent* idea. I've done this for a behavior
problem and boy, was it helpful. I didn't do anything
fancy, just notes jotted on a calendar, and it really helped
me get a handle on what was going on.

Kiba, my Cavalier, would yelp suddenly while getting up or laying down.
Sometimes while running. He might or might not hold up his leg in pain..
He had a mildly luxating patella, not severe enough to stay slipped, but
enough to cause pain as it moved. We have since had it fixed, and he's
recovering well right now.

Did they xray?
If so, follow up in a few weeks with xrays. Pano often is a pain causing
issue in puppies, and because the bone changes often don't happen until weeks
after the pano starts, it doesn't show up on xrays until later

Hi,

things got worse last night. Out of the blue he can't walk on his rear
feet. First the rear left foot is pointing 90 degrees inwards to the
body, the next hour is his rear right foot. Took him back to the vet
who got me an appointment with a specialist today. The breeder
suggested it might be a pinched nerve. Looking forward to finding out
what is going on.

The show is at the performance hall at Riderwood next Sunday, June 7, as I
had posted a month ago.

I didn't know I rated 8 stars, or perhaps you were referring to somebody or
something else? But here is information I found about the show:

I just found this link for Yorik's public appearances, which include the
Tricky Dog Show at Riderwood in July 2007.
http://www.justfurfun.org/doghtml/yorikpublic.htm

Here is more on Yorik, and a picture of him with Tuck:
http://www.justfurfun.org/doghtml/yo..._the_media.htm

I don't see him listed for the show at Riderwood this June 7. Anybody going
to that? I have some friends who will probably go there with me, probably
for the 1:00 show. Here's their website:

and for Renaissance Gardens for the 7 PM evening show:
