My 8 month old pup is acting funny. Walking kind of stiff with his tail between his legs. Let him off the chain and he just walked a small circle. Usually takes a big lap around the barns. Stomach felt a little right. This just a upset stomach? Any thoughts would be great.

No ticks. Temp is normal. Only thing I notice is he feels bloated. I seen where some guy posted on here the other day that his dog got sick from eating straw. I have seen straw in his dropping before. I just changed his bedding last weekend. True that dogs can't digest it? If that's the case what do I need to do?

Dogs eat grass they can't digest the story goes to force out worms. Are gums and inside of eyelids pink, or are they whitish? Whitish means probly has worms. I'd worm him for the heck of it.

If he gets real stiff it could be Tetanus. Dont hear much of that but I had 2 goats get it after i dehorned them. They got the lock jaw and got stiff as a statue. Good luck.

Vet said no lymes and no worms. Guess he was just externally constipated. Have him some doggy exlax and back at it. feeling lucky. Was pretty worried for awhile. Got a lot of hope for the little guy. Thanks for all the thoughts guys.

That's good. You know that's usually what's wrong with your kids or yourself. When you get constipated or backed up your just not yourself . Let you dog out to get green grass every now an then . Good luck. Kenneth
