wuts wrong with my dog

[400exrules]

I have a 12 year old black lab, and i was just out in my backyard and hes actin really weird. Hes spinnin in circles and sniffin at his but, like something hurtin him. And no hes not tryin to take a crap. He'll sit down and then smell the grass where he sat down, and the whole time hes makin a whinin noise. and hes kinda chattering his jaw too, like clickin his teeth together like a person does when their really cold. And hes not paying attention to me or any commands i give either, which is strange. does anyone know wuts wrong with him?

[ny300exrider]

im no dog expert but id say bring him to the vet asap!

Does your dog have any problems getting up or laying down? Not sure if Labs are prone to arthritis... my husky has developed that over the last couple years... will sometimes walk in circles and whine while laying down. Remember, dog is man's best friend... take yours to a vet and get it checked out. good luck, hope everything turns out ok. ;)

this is disgusting i know but my dog goes for a haircut/bath every 6 weeks and when he gets that there is a gland like right inside his butt hole. and that gets full or something i guess and it needs drained. that solves most of the butt dragging and other stuff involving it. but as far as the other stuff that doesnt sound too good. i would definately get him checked out.

12yrs on a lab is getting kind of old. Our old black lab lived to be 13, and then he had a stroke and lost use of his back legs, so we had to put him down. Now we have another black lab who I think is 7 or 8. I'm not exactly sure, but I do know that he isnt the sharpest tool in the shed, and he has the artheritis problem. But you get what you pay for, h eonly costed $100. We also have a yellow lab who is almost 2. The best advice I could give for labs, is to find one with a good pedigree, hers is very good, and she is one of the smartest dogs I have ever seen. I definetly would take your dog to the vet though.

My dog was always draggin his but and trying to bite at it when he had flee's. So we took him and got him flee dipped and it solved his problem.

[APK400exRacer]

He has an infection, take him to the vet and get it straightended out.

[Stunt Crew<-_->]

if hes that old (which was how old my lab was) he might uv had a stroke, that will mess them up in the head so we had to put him down

[Punk'd]

Yeah im guessing he has an infection or maybe even flees. Give him a bath n if that doesnt help take him to the vet! Goodluck man I hate when dogs get old:( I have a 13 year old golden retriever and hes the best dog ever never barks or bites when people come over he is always there to greet them. Just a great dog goodluck man

Since when did exriders, ATVRIDERS become a doctors hangout, theres 2 posts already about someone shaking to death, and no theres a dog whos spazzing out.

[blueskyy]

Does he have worms? :huh :eek2:

[Plante400]

maybe the neigbors dog owned his ***

hahhaa
sorry if that affends u

[400exrules]

no the neighbors dog is a little bulldog thats like 30 pounds, and my lab is 105lbs. and hes the male

[Plante400]

haha i guess its either not that or another neigborhood dog heh

[MichaelS693]

he might have something "lodged(sp?)" in his hind end... it happened to one of my friends dogs and it was a pecan LOL!!!!!:D

[Quad18star]

Labs are known to have hip problems . When he walks in circles , he might be trying to lay down or si , but the pain is just too much . Also he might have eaten something and it is stuck in his intestines ( which I think is the problem) .Has the dog had a crap lately ?? But I am no expert ... take the dog to the vet to get checked out ASAP !!!!

[400grl]

Sounds like he ate something, and he's having problems pooping it out......maybe something sharp.....??? My dog did that a few times......one time is was a feather that was about a foot long!! LOL!!

Hope you find out what's wrong with your pooch.:(

[sharkinthepool]

Does he chew stuff up?

If so he might have something caught! Could just be a hair bothering his hole, or he might be trying to pass a worm or parasite of some kind.

It could always be his glands. But hey man that is your bud, better get him to the vet and get him looked at.

:eek2: What he said... it is likely a glandular infection. It would likely need to be drained. Let a Vet do it..... that crap really stink's... no pun intended..

GET HIM TO A VET NOW!!!

Good luck dude.. don't let him suffer..

The sacs are really called Anal Sacs. Worms or tapeworms are also known to spread from the stomach or intestines to outside of the anus. Vet help is recommened.

Have you gotten the dog help yet?

[400exrules]

talked ot my mom she said its prob the anal glands and were gonna try to get him to the vet soon, my parents are too damn lazy and just dont care, so i have to bug them every 5 minutes to get them to take our damn animals to the vet.....its pathetic. My dad would rather have our dog suffering then have to spend money.........it sucks. If i had a truck i'd be at the vet right now

[Cody_300ex]

[Kyle_Racer_31]

Poor Dog.....Y The Dog Brain :p ;)

[sloppyjoe]

you might want to try shootin it. larry the cable guy says that it helps the healin process!

[FoxRacing81]

Man that sucks! I hope your dog is alright.

I have a golden retriever and he is the best dog ever! He cracks me up all the time, and is the most friendly dog I have met in my life! He's about 7-8years old. I hope he lasts another 7 years. I couldn't imagine what I would do once he's gone. I would want another dog, but no dog could be the same as him.

I hope everything works out for you!

Things like blood, guts, dead things dont bother me a bit.
BUT.......When the vet cleared my chows anal glands, I turned a bit green. That smell.. oh god. It would bring a strong man to his knees:scary:
