My puppy hurt his leg last night. (Great Dane). This morning he wasn't limping but this afternoon he is limping a little. If he is putting weight on it and not whining will his leg be ok?

IT doesn't sound like a fracture but you can never know for sure, give it 2-3 days, if it seems to get better then he will not need any treatment for it, if it gets worse or is no better then you will need to bring him to the vet in order to have an xray done.
