Hello and welcome back. You can try massaging the leg and see if that helps. If the massaging helps then the spasms are more likely to be due to pain vs. behaviour. If the spasms go away after a massage then I wouldn't worry too much, but if the spasms keep coming back then I would have Coco into your vet. Best of luck with Coco.
