I'd be thinking that she's picked up a paralysis tick. They can be very hard to find if they are still small. You should take her to get checked out JIC.

Yep I'd be worried about atick too - by the point of both legs being affected, it's been onfor a while, so get it to a vet asap.

It's worth taking him to the vet it could be a tick. My sister's dog started getting lethargic and limping on his back legs, she took him to the vet and he was found to be diabetic.

Oh, a tick. Swear. Didn't think of that. Thanks everyone!

Check her over for a tick but it doesn't really sound like it to me as ticks cause weakness so you will see her back end tend to go to the side etc. but she wouldn't generally walk like she is in pain if you know what I mean. But she definitely sounds under the weather - maybe a spinal issue or something of the sort? Is she hunching up her tummy like it could be abdominal pain? Poor little mite.

Definitely a trip to the vet. It doesn't sound like anything minor, things like this don't usually clear up on their own unfortunately. Hope they get to the bottom of it quickly and she is feeling better soon xx

She wasn't hunching over or anything like that. We had a look for a tick, but couldn't find anything.
She seemed alright last night, and this morning seemed all back to her "normal" (puppy springy playful bouncy) self (when she's not been a lazy bones). We will continue to keep an eye on her. Hoping it may just have been something simple, maybe she got stuck under the house for a bit?
Thanks everyone. X
