I did feel down her back and she didn't respond to that, if she hurt her back would she be responding in pain when I touch it???

At her last vet visit less than a month ago the vet said her knees were still fine. Could a knee issue come up that quickly?

Well she's very mellow right now (as she's been all day) so confining her and limiting her isn't an issue right now. I guess we will find a vet tomorrow!
Ryder didn't respond to any palpations, either. It wasn't until we took xrays of the spine that we found narrowing of two vertebra, which was pinching the nerves in his spine. He yelped randomly but exhibited the same symptoms- shaking, panting, looking scared and acting generally "WRONG."

I wouldn't think a knee problem would pop up that quickly, but you never know. Ranger's right knee wasn't bad until we took an xray before his surgery to see! His left had been the problem...

Please, please, please keep me updated. I am hoping for the best!
