If Markwy is now trying to put weight on his paw and he wasn't before, he may be improving. I would rest him as much as possible to see if that helps him further. No running, jumping, or playing. Keep him indoors if he's allowed outside, and confine him in a small room or crate so his activity is kept low. If he still isn't putting full weight on his paw in the next 48 hours, then I would take him into the vet for an exam and possibly x-rays. Good luck, I hope this helps!
