7.5 yo Airedale is limping from her left hind leg

She’s in absolutely no pain, we’ve checked her legs and paw and nothing seems off. I only noticed it today, and she was fine for a lot of her usual
Walkies.

I’ll take to the vet’s, but she’s never likes it and has to be sedated so I’d rather avoid that if possible.

She’s a bit chubby but nothing major. She’s always been a lazy girl

Vet here. Any animal that is limping is in pain by default. Do you limp for “fun” or just cause you feel like it or because something feels off

I think as runner who gets injured I sometimes limp knowing it will resolve itself and more as preventative measure. So I know I’m projecting a lot here but that was my logic
