I have a 2 year old corgi that fell off of a 3 foot high bed, and she is now limping badly. She does seem to be in some pain but I'm not sure if there is a fracture. Should I seek emergency medical help tonight or wait till the morning?

Hi,

Yes she needs to see a vet for a examination to determine if it is a fracture or a break. If left untreated it can cause her even more pain and even arthritis latter in life.

If there is a vet ope in your area now I would recommend taking her in now for treatment.

I hope she is feeling better soon, please let me know how she is.
