Your Veterinarian will also perform
flexion tests on Odin's legs to make sure that there is ease of movement; additionally given the size of dachshunds, spinal problems are always a possibility.
If the pain continues or gets worse, visit your Veterinarian for
flexion tests and x-rays.
If there is no improvement after a day, a visit to your Veterinarian may be required for
flexion tests and an overall check.
I would recommend just restricting his movement (cage rest) which I know can be difficult when you have two playful companions, but if there isn't any improvement over a five day period I would take him into your Veterinarian for
flexion tests, reflexes (in cases there is some nerve involvement) and possibly x-rays.
A complete physical examination, lameness examination with
flexion test and neurological evaluation and examination of a horse intended for purchase is a practical idea to help a potential buyer form a smart, informed decision.

On strength
testing the muscle, pain will be felt on resisted plantar
flexion (pushing the toes and foot downwards towards the floor) against resistance.
Testing on the 1 R.M. continuum on knee
flexion exercises (a.k.a. leg curls) show that to stay within 70 % of the maximum, you can not do more than 8 reps.. So in my opinion, leg curls done above eight reps are a complete waste of time.
The doctor may also move the patient's legs to
test for pain on
flexion of the hip (called the psoas sign), pain on internal rotation of the hip (called obturator sign), or pain on the right side when pressing on the left (calling Rovsing's sign).
Supine (Active): You can also have someone
test their hip
flexion ROM actively (meaning, they're the ones doing the work).
When assessing maximal knee angle (
flexion), mean power output in the concentric phase a squat exercise, and vastus lateralis EMG amplitude, the
test - re-
test reliability measured by the coefficient of variation (COV) ranged between 5.3 — 7.8 %, which suggests that these measurements are comparatively consistent but not perfectly replicable.
They
tested joint angles from long (90 degrees of knee
flexion) to short (30 degrees of knee
flexion) muscle lengths, expecting to see greater gains for the isotonic group at both ends of the range of motion, where loading was higher than in the middle.
One study by Lovell et al. (2012) explored a number of common rehabilitation
tests for the adductors and found that the supine isometric hip adduction in 0 or 45 degrees of hip and knee
flexion were the best positions for producing maximal EMG amplitude in the adductor magnus.
One potential limitation in the study was the difficulty to find a knee joint ROM
test for knee
flexion.
But where your back begins to go into
flexion when you're doing the all - fours
test, that's where you'd want your descent to stop if you were performing weighted back squat.
This study
tested muscle activation during maximum voluntary contractions of hip extension, in different hip
flexion joint angles while the knee was flexed, and found that gluteus maximus EMG amplitude was reduced by a third when the hip was flexed, compared to when it was fully extended.
An x-ray of Tiger's front legs would help in the diagnosis to eliminate trauma, inflammation and cancer;
flexion and reflex
tests would help to determine pain of other origin.
