Welcome to

So about a week ago I joined a new dog park near my house, 60 bucks a year but its really nice with several fenced areas all atleast an acre or 2 big, nice agility course, doggy pool, and an unfenced pond for dogs that are good with recall.
Anyway, Ive been taking Dax over there and he's been really loving it. Tonight he was wrestling with a border collie and rolled over backwards onto his hind leg. He immediatly yelped/cried for about 5 seconds or so, and wouldnt put any weight on his leg. He flopped over and just layed there looking at me. I thought I was gonna need to take him to the vet. By the time I calmly walked over, he stood up, limped about 3 steps, and then went right into a normal walk, and from a walk to a trot, and then immediatly into a run and began playing again. I calmed him down for a few minutes and checked him out and he seemed to be in no pain, and wanted to just play. I let him go and he played fine for another hour, and seemed fine since. It gave me a scare, but Im pretty sure that he's fine as he has played for the rest of the evening and wants to keep going. Will he be sore/stiff tomorrow? Should I walk him tonight? and then again in the morning to loosen up his leg if its sore?
