Hi there and thanks for posting! I would take Jonny in to see his veterinarian very soon. He may have a fracture that will need to be corrected. He may need x-rays, casting, and pain medication. I hope you are able to get him in to see a veterinarian soon! Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
