Please check the toenails to make sure none are broken or growing into her pads. Next feel the entire leg to see if there is a scab or puffy area that could be a developing infection. If you bend each of the joints you will see if one of them is the cause of the limping. If everything is normal then she may have bruised herself doing some activity and the limp should improve over the next few days without treatment. Should she become very painful or the limp persists then an veterinary exam and treatment are recommended. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Punkin.
