My puppy fell off the bed and limped briefly. Should I be worried?

Question

My puppy fell off my bed today and onto his right leg. He yelped as he fell and was limping for about a minute. I got a feel of both his legs and he didn’t seem to be in pain or crying. He is now walking normal right after and is even running a little. Should I be worried? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 4 days old | 22 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Leo! I am so glad he is walking normally now, that is very good news! He probably just hit his leg hard when he fell. The fact he is walking normally now likely means nothing is broken. I would rest him for 2-3 days. If the limping returns take him to the vet, otherwise he should be fine! I hope this helps and I wish you and Leo the best!
