My loony staff is 2yo. Last week she pulled up short whilst chasing ball and was on 3 legs for a few strides then fine. Since then she has hopped and been sore on the same leg about 10 times, but absolutely 100% between times, up and downstairs ok, on and off beds, able to run round like a nutter. Ive noticed that when I scratch her stifle she points her leg straight out behind, as if shes enjoying it, doesn't mind me touching it at all, but then when she puts her leg down she is wobbly on it and hops for a couple of strides before being fine again. She's not off her food, not showing distress or objecting at all when I prod/poke her stifle or anywhere else on that leg, but something's obviously bothering her.
