Default Limping episode

Deuce was playing ball with dad and after he jumped on the bed, dove into the pillows, retrieved the ball and jumped onto the ottoman and then the floor began to limp. Hubby knew something was wrong when Deuce went to his blue bed limping. This came completely out of the blue. He's never had a problem before. The Hubs massaged his hip, thigh, knee and paw and did not get any pain reaction to the touching. He was not crying or showing any reaction when we touched his leg. When he put him on the ground Deuce did not put any weight on his right rear leg. When I held him ( and of course he snuggled into my neck) he was not flexing the leg so I just massaged it for a while. He acted like he wanted to go outside so when I put him on leash he walked on all four on the sidewalk and lifted both rear legs to pee.

My heart was in my throat when I saw this happen to him. We will keep him from jumping for today and see how he behaves tomorrow. So tell me not to panic or not. At what point do I have the vet look at the leg. I'm hoping it's not LP. How long should I wait. Maybe I read too many posts on here.
