Thanks for reaching out about Snip. A veterinary visit is recommended for the concern of a fracture or luxated leg or back injury. These can be painful. Even though it is Sunday, a veterinary visit is recommended today, as tomorrow is a holiday for most veterinary clinics and this should wait until Tuesday. Keep quiet and comfortable for now. Prevent jumping. Good luck.
