    I was playing with my 6 month old pup and he landed he his leg very awkwardly and was crying for about 10 secs or so and now is limping it was bad for the first couple mins and seems to getting better and better. He seems to be in no paint what so ever wants to play and run around and I massaged and put pressure on the leg that he is limping on and he there were no signs of pain I made him stand on his rear legs and still he did not mind. Just wondering if I need to take him to the vet or not. Thanks

    If he is limping then he does need to see the vet. Hopefully it is just a strain that he will recover from. At the very least the vet can provide some medication that will make him more comfortable.

    Let us know how you get on at the vet :)

    I agree, if he is still limping at all I would go straight to the vet.

    Good news he has stopped limping after like 2-3 hours should I still go to the vet just in case?

    I would keep a really close eye on him, and keep his activities low key - on lead and no hoollies for a day or two.
    Any problems at all I would chat to your vet for definite.
