Since it has been going on a month, I think they definately need to xray it. I think they are reluctant to do that if they don't see the limp. I had the same problem with my Jack Russell. She is a jumper. But she started limping, sometimes even holding the whole leg up and walking on 3 legs -- but only occasionally. I took her to the vet several times for this over a period of a few months. She would never limp at the vets! I insisted on the xray the second visit. It showed nothing. The vet and I both guess it was a soft tissue injury of some kind. But he did not have much to go on since she never showed it bothered her at all when we were at his office. Drove me crazy! But she finally stopped and I have not seen a limp in almost a year now. So, whatever it was, she worked through it with no help from us.
