Dog's don't usually limp unless they injure themselves. It probably jumped off of something and landed wrong. You should take it to the vet, because Chihuahuas are very fragile and can be injured very easily.

Alot of small dogs have more medical problems then big dogs... My dog when we holded her under her front legs. she whined and then she started limping her back feet when we didnt even touch her there..
The best thing to do is go to the vet to check on the dog

Mine also limps but only when it's cold outside. Seems in the fall and winter she starts and gets better in warm weather.

Take it to a vet. Your dog may have hip dysplasia which is common amongst small breeds. It could lead into arthritis and other conditions.
