My small pet is limping and can't bear weight. Should I see a vet?

Question

Do in hv to bring her to a vet? I think it is fractured but I don’t rly know She is limping but not screaming n doesn’t seem to be in pain when I touch it but she can’t put weight on it n I have already put her in a different cage with no levels so she can’t climb n no wheel so she won’t injure herself further. Pet's info: Small Animal | Unknown - Small Animal | Female | unspayed | 5 months old

That definitely could be broken. Taking out the wheel and any thing she can climb on and keeping her flat is best. She should see a vet for a diagnosis (some need antibiotics) and definitely for pain and anti inflammatory meds (human meds are not safe).
