Stetson's gait is normally kind of "rompy" (it may just be his breeding or he may have had an earlier injury before I adopted him), but yesterday I noticed that he looked to be actually "off". He kind of limps on his front right at one particular gait. The weird thing is is that it doesn't seem to bother him. He has been running, jumping, and playing with no problem whatsoever. I even palpated his leg and shoulder area a couple of times - and he really didn't react.
Could it be he just pulled a muscle? The last time he pulled a muscle was in his neck - he had an x-ray done and was prescribed a pain reliever. I don't think Stetson needs to go to the vet in this case if it's just another pulled muscle? Especially if he's not expressing any pain?
In the mean time I'll just keep an eye on it. Suggestions/tips/advice anyone?
I am always such a worrywart and I don't want to blow things out of proportion if it's really not that serious.
