Thank you for submitting your question regarding your pet. I recommend that he see his veterinarian. Depending on his exam findings, he may require x-rays to ensure that he has not suffered any broken bones. Based on these results, a treatment plan can be formulated. In the meantime, keep him quiet to allow him to rest. Do not give any over-the-counter pain medications as these can be toxic to pets. I hope this information helps!
