Hello, and thank you for your question. Reba's limping may be related to a musculoskeletal injury, such as a sprain, dislocation or fracture. It is also possible that a rash on her armpit may be making her limp as well, if it is rubbing and causing her pain every time she walks. I would definitely get her assessed by a vet in the next 24 hours to pinpoint the cause of her limping. In the meantime, try to enforce strict rest, meaning no jumping, running, or rough housing to avoid worsening a potential injury. I hope this helps, and that Reba is feeling better soon!
