Its hard to say without more information. You can go to jail for violating probation however, there are also times when then violations are minor and probation merely wants to cut you loose and get rid of you. Most probation officers are pretty straight with the people they deal with so I'd recommend simply calling your probation officer and asking him or her straight up what the deal is and what they will recommend to the court.
