What might this be?

On this afternoons walk Tala just wasn't moving quite right about 60% of the time, back quite rounded ( wouldn't say hunched though), back end swinging more than usual, better in trot and not consistently "off", she was trying to pick all the long routes so not avoiding going and ran round to the back gate for her harness on as usual. I definitely seem more bothered about it than she does and I'm pretty sure a vet would fob me off as a mad woman / give her pain killers to get rid of me.

And now she's throwing a tennis ball at me to play so maybe I am being paranoid and seeing things that aren't there

Anal glands?

Anal glands?

I did wonder about that but thought that normally makes them smellier?? She was "boot scooting" a bit last night

They don't always smell.

Vet booked, they have been warned this could be fun, she isn't keen on people around her back end, especially strangers and getting needle into her leg to sedate might also be an issue as she associates her legs being moved with people handling her feet which is still an issue, it's taken 3 months just to be able to hold her paw, still can't get a towel near it to dry it without a melt down

Hopefully you've done muzzle training with her.

She was in and out of vets at dogs trust so she is used to a muzzle, I will pop one on a few times over the rest of the week so I know she's OK with it.

And of course as soon as I booked the appointment she went right back to normal, maybe she just had something stuck under her harness/ in her fur that was bothering her
