My puppy, Lily, went lame after she made a small jump in an attempt to reach something. Are there anything we could do to first aid this? Thank you!

If she is limping I would recommend taking her to a veterinarian. Especially with her being so young I would be concerned about her breaking a bone from jumping. Until you can get her to a veterinarian I would recommend resting her. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
