Trauma, arthritic changes, orthopedic issues or tick borne disease are just a few possibilities. Restrict activity to just leash walks for elimination. Avoid excessive running, jumping or rough play. See your veterinarian for an exam if symptoms persist. Do not give any medications without the advice of your veterinarian.
