Puppy limping

My Bo (Slovak pup, 14 weeks) randomly starting hobbling on her front leg last night...possibily after her short evening walk, but as I didn't take her I am not 100% sure.

It is one of her front legs and she is fully weight bearing on it, just hobbling. I took her out for a short walk this morning to see if it had gone but she was still hobbling. She seems perfectly well in herself otherwise.

Should I rest her for a few days (easier said then done with a very high energy pup ) or continue talking her for very short walks?

hi,annoyingly i would rest her,taking her out for on lead 'strolls' only and no 'free running' in the garden(yes i do know how hard that may be,look at the breeds i own!)i would do that for a couple of days
(have you checked inbetween pads and nails etc?)

I have to say that it didn't occur to me to check her paw () as when they have something stuck like a thorn, they generally stop and don't move until the offending item has been removed. I will have a looksie when she is awake though, thanks!

Thanks, I hope so. Trying to keep a pup like her quiet is nearly impossible without her walks to take the edge off.
