Re: limping
Yes, rest him for a couple of days then see how it is, of course if he is in pain then pop along to your vet

Re: limping
Yes do take him to the vets if no improvement, I have had this with Vin and ended up with an infected paw pad. Like you say Vin jumped and ran as if nothing wrong.

Re: limping
Agree with the others - a few days rest and if no better vets, Moo limped and turned out to be arthritis (definitely not saying that is what the problem is) Xx

Re: limping
Still keep him rested for a few days, give it time to heal other wise you may go back wards. As mentioned they have a very high pain threshold Xx
