So...when you palpated around, he had no pain around leg/knee/hip...only new sign (besides limping), was the brief biting of that paw?
And appetite is fine? He's not having abdominal pain (referred pain) or a hard tummy or swollen tummy? |
I'll try the flashlight thing, thanks for the idea! I'm just wondering if it's something stuck in his paw. It's the strangest thing.
And nope, NOTHING! Just 10 mins. ago I felt ALL around again, poking and prodding, massaging lightly then massaging harder all over his back leg, he never flinched... he stayed sleeping soundly.
His appetite was fine but I offered him a treat about an hour ago and he didn't eat it. Other than that, it's seemed fine. No abdominal pain that I know of... I'll check again around his tummy but it doesn't seem swollen.
