Question
We have a small pomapoo she is almost 7 months old.  My three year old threw her off the coach , not sure how high or hard because I was not in the room at the moment but now she my puppy is limping she is not moaning but when she walks she kind of drags her leg a little.  Should I take her to the vet or should I just wait for a few days to see if it heals.

Answer
Lindsay,

Hopefully by now your puppy has either stopped limping or you have taken her to a vet.  Sorry it took so long to reply.  My rule of thumb as far as limping goes is that if they are not using it at all get them in ASAP.  If they are slightly limping give them 24-48 hours.  I hope your problem is resolved.
