Default Nibblet Not Putting Weight On Hind Leg

I don't know whether to keep her quiet and still, or to let her exercise a little bit. Nibblet had agility class yesterday (this is her third session), and at the end we did the steeplechase (I guess that's what it's called). She jumps the sticks that are adjusted to her height. I noticed last night after we were home that when she was running, she wasn't putting a lot of weight on her hind right leg. (This is from looking at her head on.) This has never happened before. She stands on it OK and walks on it OK, but when she runs, she's favoring her right hind leg. I'm keeping her in her crate today (which is actually her bed which is in the Master bath. She has her crate there, which is open, and she can get to her wee-wee pads) and keeping her still, but I don't know if I should let her walk, or what. She doesn't "walk" anywhere - she more like runs so fast that she's like a hovercraft at times.

I'm thinking she just pulled something, and needs to rest it for a couple of days. She's not complaining or in pain, but she is favoring that leg. My poor baby! I haven't let her feet touch the ground (once I caught her from tearing around the house.). I even hand fed her.

Bad mommie.
