It sounds like Layla either simply strained something, or caused a more serious injury in her attempted hurdle. Seeing as this just happened pretty recently, I would give it a day or so before going off to the vet. She might just shake it off in a few hours and she'll be like brand new again. If the limping persists or it gets worse, definitely take her in to have her examined and possibly x-rayed for damages.
