Why is my puppy limping and crying after playing? Is her paw broken?

Question

Hello my pomeranian puppy was playing with an older pug and suddenly started crying and limping,now she is laying down, would you say she broke her paw? Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 30 days old | 2 lbs

It may be Lady just overdid it and didn't break anything. I recommend resting her for the next 48 hours. No running, jumping, or playing. Take her out to toilet on a leash, and bring her right back in when she's done. If she still appears painful after this time, then I would take her into the vet for an exam. The vet can diagnose where the pain is coming from, and can dictate a treatment plan for it. She may also benefit from some pain medications, which the vet can prescribe. Please do not give her any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. I hope this helps!
