He rested a bit and started playing like normal.

Today he was playing with my other dog and he started crying and holding his back leg up again. I bought him to my room and he was walking fine. He then slept it off and he when he woke he ran into the living room and cried again.

Could it just be a sprained ankle that maybe running a certain way brings on the pain?

Mine have hurt their legs before, and the vet always gives them Rimadyl (anti-inflammatory) and limits activity to leashed potty walks for a few days. Most of the time, the symptoms have gone away. But there's always the risk of something more serious, so I'd get him to the vet if he's still limping in two or three days.
