Pomeranian yelping after patella surgery, tired. ER or wait for vet?

Question

I have a 2 year old Pomeranian that has had a double Petela luxation surgery 6 mos ago. He is eating and drinking fine. Stomach soft. But, my daughter went to pick him up he yelped. He has been pretty tired and not himself since yesterday. He normally sleeps on his back. When he turned over he yelped again. Should I take him in to pet ER? Can I wait until my vet opens? Please advise. Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Male | neutered | 5 lbs

Poor Louie! Rest him tonight. No running, jumping, or playing. Take him out to potty on a leash, and bring him right back in when he's done. If he's still painful in the morning, then take him into the vet. I hope this helps!
