Jinx is a Shihtzu Yorkie Pug Mix. Lately she has been licking her one back leg a lot. She isn't limping and she is in Bravecto, 3 months. I am concerned as I have gotten a lot of different answers and I am unsure if I need to go to my Vet Clinic.

Hello - and yes, you should.  Licking is frequently a sign of itching (fleas, mites, allergy etc) or underlying pain (arthritis / tissue changes / abdominal pain but-the-dog-licks-the-back-leg-instead-to-avoid-curling-round-to-lick-the-belly etc. ) I hope that helps.

I suppose it's worth adding, on the subject of pain, that not all animals that are in pain limp - although limping is one presentation of pain on walking.
