My basset seems to have a leg problem??

Question
My basset, Lily, can't seem to get comfortable on her bed.. she keeps turning around and acts like her legs are bothering her, but when I feel her legs there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. She doesn't make any noises. She got up from a nap a few minutes ago and was walking around the room whining and sniffing towards her rear. Any idea what the problem could be? Her vet's office is closed and I am worried about her. (She has also been licking certain spots on her bed.. not sure if that has anything to do with it, but she's never done it before.)

Answer
Hi Stephanie, First of all is Lily constipated or has she eaten something that does not agree with her? I would suggest you keep an eye on her, maybe she is having a hard time  having a bowel movement. If this is not the case,and she continues this behavior, I would suggest a trip to your vet for a check up to see what is going on. Good luck and keep me posted! Nicole!
