Hi,
The past few days, I've noticed Apollo has been kind of on and off. There are days where he his bouncy, happy self, then days, like today, where it almost seems like he's sore and depressed.
I know most puppies are generally pretty clumsy when they're young and getting used to their bodies, but Apollo has me a little concerned. At times he will almost wobble around (which I have attributed to him trying to scratch at himself while walking), and times where he will try to get up (maybe too quickly) and fall over himself.
Today, while we were going through our daily training session, it seemed like he was having an issue sitting down. He would lower very slowly and rise very slowly.. Very weird. Also, he normally has no issues with stairs, and today, I haven't been able to get him to come up the stairs once. He has also been laying down and just staring at me when I ask him to "come." I'm wondering if maybe he hurt himself while attempting one of his couch-climbing expeditions or maybe he might have some surfacing hip issues?
He is due for his next vet visit on the 6th, so I'm going to talk to the doc about maybe getting him x-rayed, but I'm just worried, and the 6th is a long ways away! (Not really, but it sure seems that way).
Thank you so much!

He's 12 months (almost), and just a hair under 36".
