hannah is avoiding jumping off couch or stairs or bed..?? i don't know what

i don't know ofan incident that could have caused her to get hurt but obviously she is avoiding stairs somewhat and not running around or jumping ...it appears her back right leg or hip maybe the problem ...has anyone had a problem with this type of injury im going to take her back to vet ..i had her in for blood in urine ...im just worried this is related in some way ...she is on antibiotic and urine is clear now ...but now she is not active like normally...does this sound familiar to anyone ...if she hurt her leg or hip how are these types of things treated ??

The treatment depends on the type of injury

How old is she?

It's probably a good thing she isn't jumping.

Leg

If she injured it she will need crate rest meaning strict crate rest 24/7 and out to walk on a leash.  ACL and Miniscus tears take several months of crate rest....Good luck and let us know what the dr. said!
