Pekes are susceptible to hurting their backs. You have to be really careful about not letting them jump on and off of furniture, going up and down stairs, etc. All this pouts stress on their backs and makes them vulnerable to injury. If you peke has hurt his back you will need to keep him confined in a small space or crated for about a week or so. The peke will need to rest and not be allowed to do anything that will further injure in the back. Some signs for a hurt back are dragging of the rear leg(s), pain or tenderness towards the rear. What did your vet tell you to do? Did the vet give you any anti-inflamatories such as prednisone? The key thing to do to keep your dog from hurting his back again is what I mentioned in the beginning of my post. Since this happens a few times a year he is clearly doing something he is not suppose to be doing. Good luck with your baby and I hope that he recovers soon.
