This morning I heard my dog slip and fall and it was kind of loud. She slipped on my floor because her nails constantly slide on the hard wood, and she must have just collapsed on herself. Later on in the day it took her 10 minutes to be able to stand up. She kept trying to stand up but her front paws kept sliding and she couldn't pick herself up. Finally after trying several tries she was able to get up and walk but she was walking with a major limp. It is either her back leg(s)...or her thigh joint.
The thing is, she isn't showing any signs of being in pain. She isn't whining, she isn't flinching when I touch her legs...she lets me touch her legs and move them around and doesn't seem bothered by it. Her appetite is the same and she is even playing around with her toys and her bone. But she is still having a very hard time standing up and walking normally. I don't see how she doesn't appear to be in any pain but she is clearly having troubles moving. Is there anything specific that could have happened? I don't even know where the problem area is because I touched her legs and no response....Help?
