Limping

roxy woke up this morning and she is limping and it's hard for her to bare weight on her hind legs. She played vigorously yesterday with my daughter and ran around the house. We have wood floors I'm not sure if this could have contributed to this. Anyone had this happen before. I'm concerned.

Whenever one of my guys turns up with a limp...
we totally rest them for a few days to see if it heals on it's own. That would be no getting on furniture, going outside on a leash and being confined to a small space or crate. Giving pain pills can mask the discomfort and if too active, they can injure themselves worse. If she's not better after a few days of rest, I would contact the vet.
also...
she could have slipped on the floor while running around. We have tile floors and we've put down a lot of runners in the kitchen to minimize the slipping after an acl tear on Chester. It looks awful but it does the job.
