Did the vet palpate his legs all over? And test his range of mobility? If it truly has nothing to do with anything physical, then you'd have to start exploring neurological issues.

I don't really have any answers for you, but I sure hope this resolves quickly for your baby - I hope it is nothing. Keep us updated.

Some dogs hide pain really well. Even though he seems fine, I'd be a bit concerned that it does hurt.
