Spasm in hind legs

[Jessika]

It is important to find out the source of pain and then to treat it in order to prevent any further complications. I think if you in doubt, go straight to your veterinarian or consult to a veterinary chiropractor.

This. There are a number of causes, reasons, theories, etc... why this could have happened. Just because your pet doesn't appear to be painful doesn't mean that it isn't an issue or something to be concerned about. Not trying to scare you at all, but very often people use "pain" as a way to determine whether their pets need medical attention or not. Animals are so stoic that by the time they show clinical signs of there being a problem, it's pretty progressed.

Now, this incident specifically, could be any of the things mentioned above. There may never be another incident again. Or, it could be the beginnings of something more serious, like hip dysplasia, spinal issues, etc, that should be addressed sooner rather than later. Spasms can also be a sign of pain.

When in doubt, to the vet!

We have owned 3 Australian cattle dogs over the years. They are a very hyper breed of dog & always on the go. They work on our farm herding cattle. Our first cattle dog had hip problems. We found that by lifting our dogs in & out of the truck cab & less impact type of jumping has helped them with this problem. It is good to take your dog to a veterinary & have it checked out.
