Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be due to leg pain which can happen from like a soft tissue injury or even a fracture. I recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment to see if this seems to be the issue so that it can be treated accordingly. At the very least, pain control medications can be started. Good luck and have a great day!
