Answer by KAte
yes it sounds like he has got an infection in his leg and this needs urgent attention by a vet who can give him special medicine to help get rid of it. the leg may also need cleaning up so the sooner you can get him to a vet the better.

Don't worry though the vet should be able to put him right if you can get him there soon.

best wishes KAte
