I would pop in to the vets...if it isn't like her to yelp when touched....she must be in some kind of pain, and I would want to put my mind at ease.
Help ?
My Mum and Dad have recently returned from a short holiday in Barcelona and when my mum stroked Pippa, she yelped. At first we thought she was just in a mood with my mum for leaving her, but today shes been yelping when anyone stroked her, so we are a bit concerned. I've checked all her body; teeth, bones, joints etc but can't see anything that could be a problem. The only thing I did see was a small rash (slight redness and a few bumps) around her groin, which looks like a heat rash, that humans get. Has anyone got any ideas what may be wrong with her as I'm quite concerned and she doesnt seem herself, her tail is between her legs 
Thank you.

Thanks Amanda, will have to book her in at the vets, i'm quite curious to know whats up with her to be honest, as there's nothing I can see that could be a problem. Not very nice to see your pets not acting themselves. Thanks again
I will do My mum's said that we'll see how she is tomorrow and take her on Saturday if she's still not herself.

Don't wish to scare you at all Grace but this is something you should bear in mind.
It's a copy and paste from a thread about meningitis.
Obi's story hear with symptoms if it helps

Typical symptoms of SRM include:
Hyper reaction to touch, particularly neck/spine area
Pain when head moved side to side, up and down
Fever
Lethargic behaviour
Strange gait when walking and standing motionless with an arched back
Reluctance to go up/down steps
Shaking/panting
Just realised Pippa is not a puppy, sorry. I would still keep this mind mind though
If any/ all or some of these apply to your puppy then please seek veterinary advice quickly. It seems to be quite common among youg cockapoos or at least there have been quite a few affected by it. With promt treatment recovery is good.

my mums booked her in at the vets for tomorrow ive just gone outside with her and shes climbed on me and refused to move, usually she's chasing round after her ball! she's perked up a bit when i mentioned the word 'walk', so going to take her for a little one now and see how she is. She's only had one drink today but has been munching on her dinner, glad she's got an appointment at the vets though, lets just hope its nothing serious! Thanks for all your advice!

Grace I have just realised how old you are! I hope my post hasn't scared you, I apologise if so!! I am glad your mum has booked her in to the vet tomorrow. I might be tempted to urge your mum to push for an urgent appointment tonight though if she can get one.
If not keep an eye on Pippa, if she vomits or looks like she may be getting worse then I wouldn't wait until morning.
Fingers crossed for you and Pippa, hopefully it's just something she has eaten given her tummy ache or something.
We will be waiting for an update
