Came down this morning and the lady was looking very sorry for herself.

Struggling with steps... very quiet....no enthusiasm. She's usually very agile and energetic.

On her walk she was the opposite of her usual, silly self.

I noticed just now when I let her in the garden her muscle was trembling when she had to haul herself up a step.

Saying that she's eaten and just barked at a magpie on her patch. The hair on her back raised and so on....

Just under the weather? She's 7.

P.S hubby said he did see her licking her poo this morning!
Euuuuuuugh!

I am always paranoid and in your shoes would probably ring the vets. They often know if anything is going around and can advise you best on what to do

Same here. Anything out of the ordinary and it's off to the vets. We're lucky though that our situation allows for it. I know many people would have to take time off work or something. Still I feel a phone call would be the least I would do. You may like to keep a diary of when things happen like this. You may also find it useful when you see symptoms, to record it as video if you can. If it suddenly goes away it might be useful to show the vet.

thanks, you're right. I'm going to give it a couple of hours and then go if she's still stiff. I've got her in the warmth to to heat up her bones a bit!
hope it's not arthritis and just a off day.
