2 years ago on Thanksgiving I was walking my dog when I saw a little thing running across the street. Came right to me, starved and filty. Weighed 9 pounds. Was a miniature poodle. Gave him like 12 baths before the white came back and pampered him until he came back to his real weight, 12 pounds (he is really tiny) Ive had Scruffy for about 2 years now but every time I reach down for him he cringes and flinches like i am going to beat him! When he does this I stroke his cheek with my hand and talk gently to him, pick him up and hold him close, talk very sothing but it doesnt seem to work he still flinches. I cant bother him while he is eating cuz he growls ( I have no reason to do so anyway) I am trying to show him as much love as possible. My question, Is there anything else i can do to make him feel safe and believe I would NEVER beat him?
Thanks in advance
Eddie
Scruffy is 5 years old. He had a vet tag on him when I found him and I did call the vet. The former owner had changed her number and we couldnt contact her. I am so glad now that we couldnt. He is my boy!

I have an appointment with the vet tomorrow. My lab is a year and a half old. He has less energy than usual, eats his food half as fast as usual, he regurgitated his breakfast this morning right after he ate it, he as had diarrhea for two days. He is a pampered indoor dog. He hasn’t been in contact with another dog recently. I am worried about him. Do this symptoms indicate anything obvious to anyone?
