JRT

Question
My JRT is 8 yrs old and has always been VERY active (the typical JRT). Starting last night he has been acting like one of his legs is bothering him in the back and it's making him kind of stumble around.  for the most part though he's acting very normal...eating, acting happy etc.  You can just tell when he goes to run or jump that he favors that leg. Any ideas?  

Answer
Its not uncommon for terriors to have bad knees or hips. the only real solution is to give it a few days and if nothing seems to progress just take him to the vet. in this kind of situation there is only so much you can guess without jepordizing the dogs health...
