This is kind of long....
Sunday evening Hannah was running in the yard and she stumbled and did a front flip. She got up and couldn't walk, she was trying but it is like she couldn't get her back legs to work, not sure if she couldn't move both legs or just one because the grass was high. When I got to her she walking but not normally, I am not sure if she was favoring one side or if both hind legs was involved. But she started walking normally within 20 minutes. But she could not jump on the couch, she would try but she couldn't, so I either held her in my arms or had her in her taxi incase something was injured. I had planned to take her to the vet this morning but she got up and was walking and even running normally, and she jumped on the couch. So I didn't take her to the vet, but this evening she was playing with Bentley and she yelped out in pain and then started walking funny again. I don't know what is wrong but I have a feeling it is her hip or hips or her back. She will definetly go to the vet in the morning but I am really worried tonight and wondered if anyone had any ideas of what could be wrong. There is no emergency vet close to me. Has anyone had any similar experiences? Does anyone have any idea what it could be? I appreciate any help.
