Dwarf hamster's leg wobbly after fall. Is it broken? What to do?

Question

So On wednesday of this week, it is thursday now, my cats got into my bedroom and knocked over my pet dwarf hamster’s cage. It fell on the floor and he manged to escape somehow. I got him back into his cage but i noticed he was running slower than usual on his wheel and had trouble getting on. One of his back legs seems to be wobbly and I believe it may be broken or fractured. What should I do? Pet's info: Small Animal | Unknown - Small Animal | Male

Sorry to hear about Flash. If you believe his leg might be fractures, you should probably be seen by a veterinarian, as broken legs or back can be very painful and possibly life threatening. I would remove the wheel for now in hopes of preventing further damage to the leg/back.
