Over the last couple of days I've noticed our jack Russell bitch carrying her right hind leg while running. I have looked at the foot to see if anything is there, pressed each pad to look for a reaction for pain, and flexed the leg - nothing. Could this have anything to do with her coming into heat in the last few days? Should I take her to vet or wait and see what happens. She doesn't seem in any pain.
I remember her doing this on and off when we first had her, but she hasn't done it for ages. Also she used to swap legs, but is definately favouring one side at the moment. We have been outside a lot, with this nice weather over the last week so maybe that has something to do with it? I have googled it, and it does seem to be something common in jack russells for some reason
