Put her on full crate rest for 24 hours. This means she’s only allowed out to toilet, and that should be on leash. When she’s done, she goes right back in the crate.
If, after 24 hours, she shows no improvement? To the vet.

In 48 hours if he doesn’t improve he needs to be seen by a vet. This should cost more than an office visit and maybe an xray. If he acts like it’s in bad pain then go to the vet… Read more »

I agree with Laura! Keep her calm and quiet for 24 hours if she is still limping take her to the vet.
