Hi and thanks for posting. A fall can cause bone or ligament injuries. He may have endured a sprain or muscle pull or could be more serious such as a fracture or luxation. I would recommend Simba be evaluated by his veterinarian soon for a hands on exam to determine what is going on here with the paws. He may need x-rays to determine the extent of the injury.
