I have to agree. Ranger is walking around super hunched right now, but that is because of his surgery. However, it confirm it could be a pain-thing, as he is certainly in a little pain only 4 days post-op. I would have a thorough exam done just to rule out any knee/hip/back pain. When Ryder hurt his back last week he was standing around pretty hunched up. After a few days rest it flattened, but then after acupuncture yesterday it went totally back to normal.
