I thought someone may be able to help with this dilemma I have with my 4 month old Tri, Sofee Marie.
On occasion, when I greet her after work, or just have not been home for a while, I will start to pet her all over and when I get to her back ribcage/flank area she will let out a large 'Yelp'. The first time it happened it scared me half to death. :yikes I could not find any open sores and she quickly recovered. It never happens when are playing, after I have been around her for a time. I had the vet look at her back flanks and ribcage, but she could not find anything swollen or strange. She offered an x-ray, but I decided to wait a few weeks. It doesn't happen at every greeting, but it did happen again last night with the dog walker, when she first greeted Sofee. We thought it may be her harness being too tight, but she has plenty of room, and it happened last night when she only had a collar on.
My gut tells me it is a 'sensitivity' thing. She is so excited to see us, that it comes out in a vocal and physical way. But, I wanted to check in here and get others opinions.
Any advice would be appreciated. It happens maybe 2-3 times per week. Thanks so much! :flwr:
