I woke up and got ready for work, like I normally do. Hunter normally sleeps in, until I have my cup of tea. I was sitting down with my cup of tea, when he entered the lounge room, he was dragging his hind legs behind him.
At first I thought he was faking, as he fake limps sometimes when we are going to work, but we generally grab his dentastick or his ball and he runs as per normal.
He tried yesterday, but could not. He could still wag his tail, but not use his legs.
I called the after hour vet, who said I had to wait for my normal vet to open, as it is not late enough, It was an anxious 4 hour wait, I was worried the wait could of caused permanent damage, he just lied with his head in my lap for those four hours.

When we got to the vet, she prescribed him some anti inflamatories and painkillers, as he was displaying soreness in his hips, we have to monitor him for hip displasia, but overall he should be ok just may require some surgery down the track.
I am so relieved that it was nothing major, as I love him too much!
