My dog is limping after a run, but doesn't seem hurt. What's wrong?

My dog has been limping on front left leg after a run. She came home and was fine for a while but now she is limping a little again. She’s not crying and let’s me touch her leg and paw.

Izzy may have sprained the leg. I would observe her and see whether it gets worse or better. Should the lameness get worse, have her examined by a veterinarian. Make sure she rests, and only leash walk her for the next few days.
