If it were my dog, I would be at the ER 5 minutes ago!!! "a little hunched up" indicates pain. Dogs are VERY stoic and it takes much pain for them to complain or allow it to be noticeable. Except for Charlotte-Jo Cassidy-Cooke -- she lets me know if her feet are chilly!!

He is otherwise acting normally, drinking a normal amount of water, a little hunched up perhaps but only noticible to her, he looked fine to me this morning at herding. Anybody experience this? She's going to give him some antibiotics and watch him, try to wait until vet opens Tuesday to take him in. Thanks!
