My new puppy is limping and falling, but shows no pain. Is it normal?

Question

I just got my new puppy on the 25th and she is randomly started limping and falls everytime she puts preasure on her front right paw. I searched how to examine the law and see if anything was hurt and when i stroke up and down the leg she doesnt seem to have any pain nor when i apply pressure around the leg. Is this normal for miniature dachshund puppies or could her leg be hurt? Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund (Miniature Smooth Haired) | Female | 1 month and 28 days old | 2 lbs

Hi ! If she is limping when using the leg, something is hurting. No, it is not normal for any dogs or Dachshund puppies to be limping and stumbling. I would keep her rested for a couple of days, avoiding playing and see if it eases off or not. If it doesn’t, or if it seems to get worse over the next couple of days, definitely have her checked over.
