 Please help quickly!
Rex is acting really weird. We couldn't find him anywhere, so we finally look in the bedroom closet, and he's just laying there, shaking. When I picked him up, he whined (those high-pitched short whines, like he's in pain), and so I layed him on the bed. He immediately rolled over on his back, so I kind of felt around his legs and belly to see if anything was hurting him. I noticed that his lower belly (around his hind legs) is really hard to the touch. Then, I started scratching his hind legs. When I do this, he usually stretches his legs out straight, and he didn't do that (they just stayed in the bent position).
Then I told him to get one of his favorite toys, and his ears perked right up. He followed my husband to the living room (slowly trotting, instead of his usual running), grabbed the toy, and then dropped it, and layed down right in that spot. I don't think one of his legs is bothering him, or he wouldn't have even gotten up. Maybe he just isn't feeling good? Maybe he is just backed up? I ALWAYS overreact when it comes to my dog - would you take him to the emergency vet, or wait out the night? Thanks for any input!
