So earlier beginning some training exercises with Myles i noticed in a very short time he was distracted and his demeanor is not what it should be, i'll try to explain this the best as i can as i don't believe pictures will really benefit anything..
Upon examining and a few other tests i have discovered he is not lifting his tail on his own. I have felt his tail and rear areas for any sign of swelling, a break or fracture and nothing. His stool is normal and when he does go he does hold his tail out to use the bathroom. His energy levels, food intake, water intake all are normal though it is affecting his performance. When i grab his tail and lift up he immediately turns around and starts sniffing and licking then stops and goes on. When i let go of his tail it immediately goes back down.
Anyone have any remote idea of what may be going on? I can't find any place or any sign of anything though i know something has to be going on since its distracting him and his level of concentration during exercises/training has drastically reduced.
Hes not a "wimp" when it comes pain so there is no whining.
I also noticed that when hes up on his hind legs he doesn't "want" to stay there very long... Hes up then wants to get back down. Gate is normal, no limping no nothing.
If anyone can think of anything i'd appreciate it, i haven't been able to come to any conclusion and since everything else is normal i'm not really feeling the need to rush to the vet.. Especially if its nothing but i guess if no answers can be determined i might end up needing to.
