If it starts to feel cooler than the other one, then a visit from the vet is in order.
Keeping her separated for a few days is a good idea. But her pen should be large enough to allow her to move around a bit, not confine her to the point of only being able to lie down.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
Just checked her legs & toes. Both are warm & the same temperature. Felt from her hips to her toes, I don't feel anything out of place (sticking out?).
She's putting a little weight on it when she's limping and will stand on it if she is eating.
Her pen is large enough. About 4 ft x 5 ft. Nothing she can jump up to. Lots of soft hay.
