I am really trying hard not to overreact and flip out here. Something is wrong with Falkor's back left leg. I noticed a while back and he would occasionally toe-touch with that back leg while he was standing around. I didn't think much of it because it was only once in a while. It seemed to coincide with when he had been in the rigging for his tail wound for a while. Last week I noticed that he was doing it more often and then I noticed that he was also very slightly limping after being in his crate for a while. He doesn't act painful...he still plays and acts a fool like normal and he allowed me to manipulate his leg in every which way without acting painful.
One of the reasons that I am wigging out so much is because Hexi, our lab mix that passed away two years ago, tore her ACL right as were to getting ready to start her agility career. I am terrified that Falkor did something to his ACL that could end his agility career before it even began.
We'll be going to the vet tomorrow and I am hoping and praying that it's just a strain or sprain. :(

This sounds kind of similar to Heffner's iliopsoas muscle strain. It's a muscle that connects to their hip and is up and under their leg. Kind of hard to manipulate unless you know exactly what to do. Hopefully that's all it is!
