Shaking/tremor like movement in rear leg...?

Hi everyone :] I'm new here and just have a question (hence joining this forum, hoping someone may have some idea).

I have a 2 & 1/2 year old pekingese mix dog who weighs about 15.5 lbs. He was just updated on his rabies and distemper vaccs. about a week ago.

I know it's normal for him to possibly be tired for a day or so but he's been seeming a little bit less interested in his dog food than usual, and tonight after going for his walk I noticed his rear leg is shaking/shivering...and his face appears to me as if he's uncomfortable (his eyes seem to be blinking a lot and his brows are moving a lot) he was laying in a sort of a clenched ball while his leg muscle was what appeared to be spasming/shaking. It wasn't anything outrageous but enough I could definitely feel it and see the muscle in his thigh moving.

He isn't whining and doesn't seem in pain really...just seems a little uncomfortable or irritated if anything I guess...but mostly just his normal lazing like he does at night time.

I just don't know what this could be from...any ideas?

Maybe a pinched nerve somewhere?

Here's a funny/cute picture of him, since we're new here. :]

There is no way for us to have any idea what may or may not be wrong with your dog. This forum is for the discussion of DIAGNOSED conditions only, as posted in the forum description. Please have you dog checked by a vet if you suspect something wrong.
