Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! He should be evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check him for any injuries and treat him accordingly. In the meantime, handle him carefully and try to not move his back much. Good luck and have a great day!
