Poor Sonny! I would have him seen by a vet today for this. When a young puppy injuries themselves, it's best to have this examined right away to prevent any adverse effects on their growth. The vet can do a lameness exam and x-rays to diagnose what is causing him to limp, and can discuss treatment options with you.
