Since last night my dog has been groaning a lot. He can walk fine, but doesn't seem to want to, when he's normally a very active dog. He's eating any drinking just fine, but doesn't wanna go to the bathroom much (because he has to walk outside). My fiance said he tripped while running earlier in the day, but if that's what it is, it didn't bother him for a couple hours. Nothing seems to faze him when I rub his hips/joints or stomach. What should I do?
