My puppy jumped off the bed and is limping. Should I go to the vet?

Question

My four month old puppy jumped off the bed (something he is used to by now) and seems to hurt his leg. He limps and won’t put weight on it, but doesn’t whine or anything. Please help

Poor puppy! I recommend to take him into the veterinarian today if possible. Puppies bones are still developing and thus there is always a concern for a fracture. Soft tissue injuries are also possible and the veterinarian may need to do an x-ray to check the bones. The doctor may also provide pain medication to make your pup feel better. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
