Broken leg?
 

Yesterday afternoon my pup ran into the wall and jammed his leg/paw into the corner and yelped. He is limping around on it still running and jumping trying to keep all that to a minimal. He else doesn't whine or try to pull away when I'm examining the paw and leg. Do you guys think it's broke, should I take him in?

If the leg were broke, he couldn't put any weight on it. He could have sprained a toe, or bruised it, maybe factured. If he isn't better by tomorrow, I would call the vet.

If it were my puppy, I'd have him checked out if he continues limping.

Also would you consider keeping him in his kennel more than normal so he's not running around.

I wouldn't kennel him - but I would be careful to only walk him and not encourage him to run or jump up.

I would see if there's actually anything wrong before putting a dog on crate rest.

I agree with Debbie. Vet check first.
