Took him to the Vet. The doctor stated that he was not chewing his food.That is the reason why his abdomen was hunched back. He also stated that his teeth is very sensitive and also older. He told us to soften the food. Since then he hasn't been doing that.

So, Thanks again for your response.

By the way his 8yrs old, Yorkshire Terrier Toy.

So thats my answer to my problem..........

Make sure that you see a vet, because he could have something more life threatening; sometimes the symptoms can look very similar!

He should definitely be seem by a vet. He could have pancreatitis or something in his abdomen that is making him painful like a foreign body. Does he get in the garbage or eat things he is not suppose to?
