My dog fell from a tree and hurt her back leg. Should I see a vet?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 6 years and 7 months old

Bella jumped out of a tree last friday after chasing squirrel and hurt back leg. She mostly hops with it up but can out it down. I'm sure it's a sprain and I have tramadol for night and loxicom for do u think she needs to go to vets

If you do not see any improvement since last Friday she definitely needs to go to the vet to get it checked, it could be more than a sprain, it could be a dislocation or a ligament injury for example and this will need to be treated differently.
