    Sounds like a fever, maybe from an infection. Take him to the vet for a diagnosis which may include a blood draw

    I agree with Ballengerb. This needs to be seen to by a vet. We can guess what's going on, but guesses aren't always accurate, and won't help your dog.

    I'll make it three to none for seeing the vet. It sounds like a nerve problem of the lower back.You say there doesn't seem to be any pain... not something expected with a disk problem, but it may be an infection, or even a tick bite affecting the spinal nerves.

    There's a couple good reasons to see the vet, and let's hope they aren't really accurate diagnoses, but actually something simpler.
