When you touch his leg, does he wince or show that he's in pain? Does he pull it back? When Peanuts was young, she used to have this mannerism or raising her front paw while sitting or standing at a halt. I guess it was because she was a terrier mix.
It might just be a pulled muscle because sometimes play biting can do that. Jumping from the couch can also cause a limp leg (especially if he's small).
If it continues for more than a week, then something is up. Limping due to a pulled muscle only last for a couple of days if not hours.
He plays with his mom, and rough. He's a big puppy (9 months, 80 lbs!) so he plays hard. I never heard him yelp, ut he has had at least 3 other "limping sessions" that lasted a week or more, but they go away eventually. It's really hard to judge because he is not that old...not too much time to compare it with.

lol what? That was the most nondescript forum response I have ever read.

The X-ray price of 400 Euro for 2 photos is ridiculous!!!
Yeah, this is what I figured. It hasn't gotten really any better or worse yet. But at the same time, he still plays like a boss!
And yeah, pet expenses in Amsterdam are absolutely outrageous. It's to the point where its common to get health insurance for your dog because of this. I'm not going to bother doing this, because I have plans to move to Spain in September.
