i came home from work an hour or so ago, and noticed that my redfoot had been limping. he uses his front arms normally, but does a kind of shuffle with the rear legs.
i've seen him do this on rare occasions before, but never for very long, and i always attributed it to him not getting good footing (on linoleum in the kitchen or whatever).
but he's been doing it nonstop for an hour or so -- i gave him a soak in case he was maybe constipated/impacted, but no poop. he''s on the carpet now and still doing it. i picked him up and held his back legs, and he seemed to pull them from me with his usual (surprising!) strength.
if he keeps it up i suppose i'll have to see if the vet is open on mlk monday. 
but in the meanwhile, does anyone here have any ideas or similar experiences?
thank in advance...
