Oh dear poor Dexter
He has been fine and fell aslepp in his usual place of in front of the door (come hell or high water I can't get hi away from it) anyway we have been walking and swimming today nothing unusual, he fell asleep and now has got up and can't weight bear on his right hind leg
Could a draught on him caused this???

It could be a draft Carroll, try massaging his leg and see if that helps him to be able to bear weight on it, I`m assuming he was ok and not limping after his walk/swim today?
You could make a "sausage" to put along the bottom of the door to, that`ll help stop drafts affecting him hopefully
Yeah I have been massaging it and he was fine after his walk and I actually lead walked today so he warmed up before a run about off lead.
As for sausge can't do Maj will think its a new toy, I do move him but I look round and he is there again-daft thing
Yeah fully checked pads and inbetween but nothing and I'm sure it is more his hip area as his leg seems quite loose (if you know what I mean) but his hip looks a bit stiff although I have done rotation with it and it is fremoving.
The prob with Dexter is he doesn't show or make a noise when in pain due to his last house
I think if his hip was hurting, he would tense the muscles round it rather than let it hang loose.
Could he have laid on it funny and given himself pins and needles? Could he have twisted his back at all while he was out....thinking doggy sciatica here (if there is such a thing)?
Didn't explain well his lower leg is loose but he is carrying his leg high, thats why i thought hip area
He was wlaked at 11.30 am this morning and he has paddled since then and went to sleep about 3pm and it was when he woke from about 4pm he was not weight bearing
