My dogs name is Milo. Completely normal throughout the day. During the mid afternoon/evening he went on his daily walk. Came back and ate his dinner. Time after he screeches when trying to lay down. He is able to sit down but screams when he tries to lay down or push off the floor. He paces around the house as he seems uncomfortable. Also screams when he tries to poop. There’s no visible irregularities when looking at him. We didn’t see any injuries that could have caused it either.


It sounds like Milo is experiencing some discomfort or pain, which might be related to his back, abdomen, or joints. The fact that he screeches when trying to lay down, push off the floor, or when attempting to poop suggests there could be an issue with his muscles, spine, or even his abdomen.
There are a few possibilities to consider. Milo might have strained a muscle during his walk or playtime, which can cause pain when he moves in certain ways. Alternatively, he could be experiencing back pain or spinal issues, which are not uncommon in dogs and can lead to discomfort when lying down or getting up. Abdominal pain is another possibility, as discomfort in this area could cause pain when he tries to lay down or defecate. Although less common in a young dog like Milo, joint pain or arthritis could also be contributing to his symptoms.
For home care, try to keep Milo as comfortable as possible. Ensure he has a soft, supportive place to rest and limit his activity to prevent further strain. You might gently palpate his body to see if there are any specific areas that seem tender, but please be cautious and stop if he appears to be in pain.
Since these symptoms are causing significant discomfort and there's no visible injury, it would be wise to monitor him closely. If the symptoms persist or worsen, or if you notice any additional symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, it would be best to consult a veterinarian. They can perform a thorough examination and may recommend imaging or other diagnostics to determine the cause of his discomfort.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
