...week now? I will say as much as possible, this is my first time posting, so thanks in advance. He has so far been super playful and very sweet and a great eater and drinker. He has had his shots and he is going to the vet tomorrow, just so we're clear on that. Today he has been acting like can't get comfortable in any way, he keep whining and usually he is not a whiner unless he just wants me to pick him up or wants to play. He keeps rolling around, obviously unable to get comfortable and my first thought is he may have a tummy ache, but he's not farting or anything. I am just trying to get some ideas really before his appt tomorrow, if anyone has had this happen to their puppy before, seeing how I can't sleep since he can't. Not trying to waste anyone's time, but would like some input for this first time puppy momma. Thanks.
 
I'm not sure... ? Maybe try a heating pad or hot water bottle in his bed? It's good you have an appt tomorrow.
 
I'm sorry but I dont know what it could be!!
When my chihuahua moves around and whines like that. he is rubbing his ear up and down the couch, and or floor, it means he has an earache..other that that I haven;t experienced that w/a dog..sorry!! Just keep an eye on him, and write down when this started and everything that is happening, so that the vet has a better idea of what is going on and can help him! Good luck w/.him!!!
 
I never had this problem. I would call and asks vets so you can get information and not have to pay for it. Also, if when the dog whines you play pick him up you're on your way to creating a little monster who will be spoiled.
 
His anal glands may need expressed, that is a common problem that causes a lot of discomfort. Is there any chance he could have an intestinal blockage from something he chewed up? That happens a lot in puppies because they get into so many things. It's tough to say without seeing him myself but those are the 1st two possibilities that spring to mind. Good luck, I hope it's nothing serious!
