My dog limped, now her tail is limp and she's not herself. Should I worry?

Question

My dog was limping earlier today. She was holding up her back right leg. She’s walking on it now, but her tail is limp. She’s a chihuahua and her tail is normally always up in a curl. Should I be worried? She’s not acting like her happy go lucky self, and there’s no other sign of injury. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua (Smooth Coat) | Female | unspayed | 8 years old | 9 lbs

Poor Rockie. She sounds like she is in pain. Rest her tonight. No running, jumping, or playing. Take her out to potty on a leash and bring her right back in when she’s done. Have her seen by a vet in the morning if she is still acting like this. Best of luck.
