I have a very active Pomchi (pomeranian/chihuahua mix), he was playing fine then I noticed him limping. Front left foot. He is not whimpering and I can move his paw back and forth. Do you think it is a slight sprain? What can I do?

It could be a slight sprain, but it’s more likely he stepped on something.  I would check the paw carefully for injuries or something lodged between his toes.

Other than that I would watch him for a few days and try to keep him resting and if he is still painful on Monday I would take him to your local vet.
