My Miniature Schnauzer acts like he's in pain, but I see no injury.

I would recommend having Dougal examined by a vet ASAP. These symptoms could be caused by muscle strain, or could be associated with a slipped disc or other serious musculoskeletal issue. The vet will do an exam and may need x-rays to look at the neck and spine. They can prescribe pain medications or other mediations based on what they think is going on.

I recommend to have Banjo examined by the veterinarian. This behavior sounds like something is hurting him though high anxiety could also look like this. The problem is that Banjo cannot talk and tell you what he is feeling so you need to have him examined to make sure it's not pain. Pain could be anywhere in his body but common conditions include a disc problem in the neck/spine, a pinched nerve or pancreatitis. After the physical exam, the doctor will have a better idea of what to do next. 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.

Poor Ozzie! That's so hard to know something's not right and not be able to pinpoint it. If Ozzie seems to be perking up after pain relief, then it sounds like he may have a sneaky source of pain. I would relay his response to meds back to your vet and see what they think, but in cases like this I usually keep the dog as rested as possible (don't let him do any activities that could worsen an injury) and continue the pain meds. Sometimes we can't localize the pain, but if meds help then I'd keep giving them. Hope he feels better soon.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is possibly neck or back pain. It could still be pain associated with a leg even if nothing seems wrong with them. I recommend that you have Sprinkles evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Likely diagnostics include radiographs. Treatment would be based on findings. At the very least they can prescribe pain control medications to make Sprinkles feel better. In the meantime, reduce her activity as much as possible as that in itself can make a big difference. Good luck and have a good night!

He is painful not afraid. This posture looks like neck pain from a bulging intervertebral disc. This is very painful and is common in small dogs. Please take him to your veterinarian for an exam. They will probably prescribe pain medication, muscle relaxers and an anti inflammatory medication. They may recommend an X-ray also. This is a serious medical problem as the pain can be severe and some dogs become paralyzed. You should not use a collar on Moose, use a harness if needed. Massage and heat on the neck can reduce the muscle spasms and make Moose more comfortable. Also I treat these dogs with laser and acupuncture for the neurological problem, muscle spasm and pain. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Moose.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Piper. She sounds very sore. Small breed dogs can be prone to lower back pain or she could have injured the leg that she is favoring. I recommend that she sees a veterinarian. An examination will detect the source of her pain. X-rays may be recommended. Medications can be prescribed to help her to feel better. In the meantime, keep her quiet and carry her as much as possible. Do not give any over-the-counter pain medications as these can be toxic to dogs. I hope this information helps!
