ok so last night I noticed that Jake would not jump on the couch (which he normally does) he would just look at you. He is not limping or anything like that. He would not jump on the bed either. He is a VERY active dog and yesterday he was just out of it. Today Travis said that he growled and barked at him when he tried to help him on the couch. I am thinking that his hind leg(s) are hurting him but he is showing no sign other than the not jumping and the growling/barking. I am thinking that he has a pulled muscle...does this seem about right? I did a search and saw that no x-rays will show a pulled/strained muscle so I am thinking to just crate him for a few days and see if he improves.
Is there anything else that I need to know?
Thanks for any help. This is so not like my bubba and I am worried about him (probably over analyzing everything)

Resting him is a good idea...
if he's not better in a few days, I'd take him in. Maybe his back is hurting or hips? We don't let Chester up on beds or furniture because of his bad back.
