Pulled muscle in hind quarters

My 6 year old sheepdog runs every day at a dog park and just loves to round up other dogs. Today it appears that he pulled a muscle in his hind leg. Any special treatment or just let him take it easy for a few days?

What indications is he giving for a pulled muscle? It might be possibe that he pulled or strained a ligament. One of my dogs did that once....a few years ago. It required several weeks of pretty much what we call "straight line walking" rather than letting them out to do their business etc. Any sudden quick turns or pivots can cause reinjury. She was beside herself having to go out on a lead to do her business! :oops:
