My dog was limping for two days, but now she's fine. Vet needed?

Question

My dog wouldn't put weight on back leg for 2 days. I was going to bring her to vet today but now she's fine. could the issue have resolved itself or should I bring her in any way?

Hello. I would recommend trying to rest your pet for the next few days to make sure all is OK. If she continues to act like everything is fine, then a visit is probably un-necessary. She may have just had a minor sprain or mild injury that just worked its self out. If the lameness returns, then go see the vet for an evaluation.
