Pup is limping.

Hello all!

My pup is limping. I didn't see him get hurt or anything. He's done this once before when he fell off of a table, but he only limped for a few 10 or 15 minutes. The max amount of time he has been hurt for is like an hour.

How can I tell whether I need to take him to the vet?

Re: Pup is limping.

Feel your puppy's legs gently and make sure there is nothing off, swollen, or obv. broken. Compare it to the other leg to see if they are the same. If your puppy is still limping after a day then you should take him to the vet.
Hopefully, it is nothing.
