My dog fell and is limping. Should I take her to an emergency vet?

Question

My dog has a small fall on Sunday. She fell off the seat of the car down to the leg rest. When she fell she whimpered but quickly stopped. Since then I’ve been taking notice of her leg for the last 2 days she’s been having trouble going up and down stairs. She has been running and walking fine on flat surfaces. However today she got a bit excited and was running on a flat service when she suddenly stopped and whimpered while holding her leg up. Should I take her to emergency/wait for thursday ap

Poor girl! She does sound painful. Because she has been in pain for a couple of days and it sounds like she may have accidentally made things worse today, I think it would be better to get her into a vet now.
