It sounds like Zeus is extremely painful, and he's quite young. I don't think you should wait to see a vet tomorrow, I think he should see a vet now. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.
