Rosy's limping?

Rosy posy is limping slightly, noticed it about 30 minutes ago. She's still hopping about and that but shes not putting weight on it? Have had a look and no obvious injury but she's not comfortable on it. Do we need to take her to the vets now or should we wait to see if she recovers?

You should take her to be checked out, they can give her pain relief as it's obviously hurting her. My Daisy was like that not long ago, it turned out she had caught one of her claws and the skin at the base of the claw was really red and inflamed. She had some metacam (anti-inflammatory pain killer) and was fine in a couple of days. The vet might find something that you can't see :wave:

Got her a vet appointment, for 3.15. Is this too late? She's in the kitchen with her husbun, hay and a fan so the stress is minimal. Mum says she can wait but tbh I really wish she could go sooner, the other slap alternative is to try another vet??
