Guys my pup is about 2months old and he's done something to his leg running around. Sometimes he walks on it but mostly limps around. Doesn't act himself at all and hardly has ate the past day. Doesn't feel broken. It also feels like he has fever. Can just hurting it cause him to have fever? Hes very hot

Do you have a thermometer at home you can use?
In this case, since he appears to have hurt himself somehow, AND he's not eating/acting 'himself,' I would take him in to the vet. If he really did injure his leg, the vet needs to get it set or splinted before further damage happens.....
No way to know unless you take him in.

he could have gotten a thorn of some sort broke off in his paw between the toes and pads. I know them black locus bushes/trees in east tx will fester up and if left untreated, will enduce a fever. I didn't watch were I was going and ran right into a bush and had 10 or so thorns broke off in my arms and legs, 3-4 days later I was sick, running a fever and had red track veines. went to the doc, dug all the thorns out, went hm with some anti-biotics and a couple days later, the fever went away, and the sickness was gone. what bout spider bite, anything swelling up, red or looks like a boil? check them paws real good, the hair can hide bites and thorns. but like said before, if your really worried, get to the vet if you cant figure it out.

Why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can!

I'll check his pads, there ain't no way he got thorns or anything like that. Hes just been in the grass in the yard

what bout a grass, rat, chicken, king snake? they aint poisonous, but the bacteria in their mouth may have caused an illness and discomfort in his leg.

Just went through the same thing with my redbone pup. No fever tho. Few days after limping her leg swelled just a tad bit. There's a pic on here somewhere. Everything felt normal. I gave her meds for the swelling & about a week later she was fine
