Default Hip/Leg problem?

Hey everyone:

Well, as a first-time puppy parent, here I am again asking for everyone's input and advice.

I just recently noticed that when my baby girl, Gia, runs really fast, she doesn't put weight down on her back right leg. In addition, she walks bow-legged frequently (is this normal?)

She puts pressure on all her legs normally, but sometimes when she's eating I'll notice that the back right leg is slightly lifted off the ground. She doesn't hold it up or anything, it's just a slight thing that she does.

I've run my hands down her legs and she doesn't yelp, and she'll jump on her back legs without a problem....

just wanted to see if anyone else had seen this in their puppies before. (She'll be one next Tuesday, so maybe it's a growing spurt?)

Any help is great. Thanks so much, as always!
