neck pain

Question
our ten year old yelolow lab, rot mix is and has had neck pain for a couple of months now, could it be something else besides just pulling hard on his leash? He can't even look up at us.

Answer
Thanks for your question.  Im not sure what it could be from it could be from various things.  But what I would do to help is lay your dog down on his side and use your thumbs and pointer fingers and use presure to massage his neck all the way around.  If you notice him tensing up in certain spots then pay close attention to those spots and use more and more presure to work the soreness out.  Hope this helps.  Mail me back if you need anything else.
