My dog's leg is red and shaking after cast removal. ER vet?

Poor Cici! No, it's not normal that she shakes a lot when she puts pressure on her leg, and that tells me she is in pain. It's also concerning that the area is quite red. Given she has had a problem with the leg since January and she's still having problems with it, I do think taking her into an ER vet now is the best option. Best of luck!
