When a dog is in discomfort or experiencing a painful condition, it may frequently whine. You must take the dog to the veterinary surgeon as soon as possible if you become aware that they are vocalizing regularly or that they begin vocalizing suddenly.

If your dog eats food that doesn't agree with them, it might cause them to become bloated or have stomach distress. It could be why it seems as though your dog is crying out in the middle of the night for no apparent reason.
