Hello, I'd recommend taking Figaro to a veterinarian as soon as possible. It appears that he is in pain and unable to move well. I worry that he has a serious injury, whether it's a broken bone, infection, blood clot, or nerve problem. Your vet can guide you best after a physical exam. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
