Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. With your description, it is difficult for me to say what the problem is. I would recommend that you have rusta examined by a veterinarian to help determine the area of pain and what the cause could be. He will likely need pain medications to help keep him comfortable as well. Your vet can also perform diagnostic tests such as x-rays to help determine what the problem could be. I hope this helps! Please do not hesitate to contact me with any further questions or concerns. I am also available via consultation if needed.
