    Dog won't jump anymore
    My small beagle mix has not been jumping up on the furniture like she used to. She tries and yelps sometimes, not all. This started about 3 weeks. Ago. She still runs in backyard with my other beagle, goes on evening walks as before also. She is slightly overweight, I have changed her to Iams weight control. It just started all of a sudden around the time we gave away our male beagle, don't know if it's any relation, she is much closer to the other female than she was with him. Can anyone give me some insight?

    It would pay to have her checked out by a vet, there are too many things it could be...
    She may have just pulled a muscle, done a cruchet (sp?) ligament, have slipping patellas or back pain.
    Being a bit overweight could contribute to several of those things.

    Sorry I can't be much more help but the only way you will really know is by going to a vet.

My dog won't jump down unassisted! [ 1 Answers ]

I have two small dogs, and they always jump up on the furniture. In the last couple of days, my Papillon has acted really strange about getting down from the sofa or the bed (both are only about a foot off the ground). She jumps up just fine, but when she wants to get down she stands at the end...
