Sorry to hear that Dexter fell! I'm sorry to say that it is difficult to evaluate what is going on from the picture. I recommend having him seen by his veterinarian to have it evaluated. He may just have inflammation, or he could have something more serious such as neurologic damage. Either way, he looks like he needs some medical treatment so that more issues don't arise. Also, they can get pretty serious damage to their penis if it cannot retract properly.
