Had to leave the house early this morning 'cause hubby needed a drive to
work. Then the kidlets and I went to the gym and then tried to get some
christmas shopping done, so it was about 3:30pm before I was home again.

When Macula met us at the front door she was limping a bit, favouring her
left hind leg. She puts some weight on it but not the full amount, and when
she sits she looks as if she's leaning a little to the right (ie. keeping
weight of the sore side). I phoned the dogwalker and she said Macula had
been like this when she came this morning: it hadn't kept her from running
but she wasn't "quite as perky" as she usually was.

I phoned the vet, but he had left for the day, so the earliest I could get
an appointment was tomorrow am @ 9:30. Hence my question: what (if
anything) should I do in the meantime?

I've run my hand over the leg and Macula didn't flinch, and what ever it is
isn't keeping her from going outside or up and down stairs--she just hobbles
a little.

How worried should I be?
