I don;t know what happen but here what i can tell you, When i came home from my doctor checkup i was home alone doing my homework when my dog was yelping in pain. When i went to go check on him he started to limp. I went to go tell my grandmother and she checked him out. He seemed fine after a while and then it started up again. Were thinking its either his back, foot, leg. Please i really need advice because he is my first dog and i need to know what to tell my vet Please :(
