My dog is limping on a back leg for 3 days. Is it serious enough for a vet?

Question

My 2 year old german shepherd lab mix has been limping on one of his back legs for the past three days. I just would like to know if it's something serious and should we take him to the vet? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 2 years and 4 months old | 60 lbs

Limping means Tedi is in pain, so he's been in pain for three days now. He could have strained or torn a ligament or muscle. Given that he has been in pain for three days, yes it's serious enough to take him into the vet.
