The first thing you should do is get to an emergency room to make sure you have a simple sprain and not something more serious, like torn ligaments. If it is a sprain, most likely what will happen is an ace bandage and instructions to apply alternating hot and cold packs at certain intervals.

I guess I will post an obvious suggestion that you get an x-ray taken at the local emergency room.

A puppy's leg may not be dislocated if you don't feel anything out of place and it looks normal, but it may still be injured. Your puppy may just have a sore muscle, but she may also have a broken bone or other damage. Take her to a veterinarian if she continues to limp.

Will a puppy's dislocated leg heal on its own?

No, dislocated limbs need to be "relocated" in their proper socket before healing can take place. This type of injury is extremely painful. Let dislocated, it can cause damage to the tendons and ligaments which hold the joint in normal position. Get the puppy to a Vet immediately! If you dislocated your shoulder, what would you do about that? I'm sure you'd go to a doctor. Why would you even hesitate about doing the same for your puppy? Anyway, having had a dislocated shoulder, I can tell you that it's painful. Give the pup some relief and get him to the vet. Please. Go to your vet!!
