Poor Kevin! I'm sorry to hear that this happened to him. If he is breathing heavily and seems to be in pain, I would agree that it sounds like he's seriously hurt. Unfortunately, there is really nothing you can do at home to help with a problem like this - he needs to be seen by a veterinarian right away for a full exam and possibly x-rays to determine the extent of his injures, and will likely need supportive care such as IV fluids in addition to pain medication and antibiotics. Because of this, I would recommend taking him to your nearest emergency vet right away for treatment. If you're not sure where to go, try calling your regular vet's office - their voicemail message should have contact information for your local emergency clinic, or an on-call doctor for emergencies.
