please help poor dog in pain

my dog (a beagle) is not right today.

ive just taken him for a little walk and he keeps sitting down turning round trying to bite his tail/bottom and yelping. i had to pull him and coax him to get him home. hes laying down now but is breathing rather fast but other than that appears fine.

i have no idea what is up with him. do you have any ideas?

    The dog is in pain already - you don't know what is causing him to be distressed & the longer you leave it the worse it could get! If there is something causing him pain don't you think you should get it sorted by a professional as soon as you can?

    £50 is nothing if it helps your dog.

    I would rather spend that, than have my dog suffer.

    Take him to the vets ASAP

    For heavens sakes.........
    I'm so fed up of reading about people who are unwilling to take on the responsibility of a pet without taking on the responsibility of the financial expense too.

    Whatever the problem, your animal is clearly in pain and you have no idea why - take him to the vet!
    It aint over til I've done singing....

    Do you have insurance? That would cover this cost. If it costs you £50 & it's nothing you will still have piece of mind that nothing is wrong & know that you have done the right & responsible thing by your pet. I doubt he would be acting like that if nothing is wrong & if nothing is wrong you wouldn't have started this thread! Even if nothing is wrong it will still be £50 well spent as it sounds like your dog is unhappy & in pain.
