Depends on how long the puppy limps for. Some dogs limp after u step on their paw or if they stub it anywhere from the pain. Then they walk it off,but if the fall was high and the puppy cried,plz take it to a vet ASAP. Good luck

Take him to the vet as soon as they open; he will probably need x-rays. Toy dogs are extremely fragile - if you're lucky it's only a sprain. Otherwise, he's going to need expensive surgery for torn ligaments or a broken leg. This is why toy dogs should NEVER be on a bed or couch unsupervised or when you are sleeping. Good luck.

Take him to the vet. My puppy Shih-tzu fell off of my bar stool and cried when he hit the floor and refused to walk. This was at 12:30 a.m. in the morning. I put him up there to clean his face and when I turned around to put the towel in the washing machine, he jumped down. We went to the after hours emergency vet and he had to have a cast. He did not break his leg but fractured it. I felt so bad, it was all my fault.

Such a small dog, especially a puppy can do injury to themselves by jumping from so high up (well, high to them anyway.) It could be a soft tissue injury that will heal on it's own, but to be sure, I would reccomend that you take them into see your vet. If they feel it is a soft tissue injury, they will probably prescribe an anti-inflammatory and rest. There is also the possiblility that they will reccomend x-rays, just to be sure he/she hasn't caused any deeper damage.

Small dogs have fragile bones. It is possible your dog broke it's leg. A vet can make sure it is in the right position to heal correctly. A badly aligned broken leg can cause a life time of pain. Please take it to a vet.

Get your puppy in to the vet! If you were limping, wouldn't you go to the dr?
