Always best to get it checked, but I know from experience that sometimes limps can be faked.
My spaniel has been going to the vets a lot of late - he recently had growths removed from his bowel, and so needs regular checkups. My Snoopy Basset had to come along to the vets for a while.
Suddenly, he'd develop a limp in the vet surgery, which would only go away when the vet put him on the table and make a fuss of him.
He had issues with pano as a pup, and now seems to associate being a three-legged hound with lots of attention from the hunky australian vet.
Now, it's completely untrue that I've made up any houndy illnesses just to see that vet....
