I'm so sorry that you and Taz have experienced this. I would recommend getting Taz to a veterinarian right away. He may just be bruised and very painful, or he may have some internal damage that needs immediate attention. Either way, Taz needs significant pain medication. In the meantime, I would not recommend any over the counter pain medication since it may interact with the medications that your veterinarian may give him. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that Taz feels better soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
