Take it to the vet if there is no improvement tonight or tomorrow.
Could have jumped and dislocated hip.
How old are they???
Might have something to do with age,not sure till though as i don't know the age.
I reckon a vet trip though.

Was it just like that when it was sitting still or was it like that when you were handling it? EWD's tend to sit like this, with their back leg(s) lying straight out and stiff, but they do no damage when sitting like this.

it does it when it is walking it drags his leg behind and then after about 1-2 minutes it frees up, i rang the vet and they said there are almost 100% sure it would be a tightend tendent, i get them in my ankle and i cant move it, thats after a big ran and stuff, i woke up this morning and the leg was free again but the foot was still a bit twisted.
