Poor Chloe! If it's been more than 24 hours since this happened and she's still limping, then yes - I would definitely take her to the vet for an exam. She may have torn a ligament in her leg or fractured a bone from jumping off the truck. Your veterinarian can do a complete orthopedic exam and may also recommend x-rays if needed to help diagnose the problem and get her started on appropriate treatment.
