George fell face first off the deck railing onto the ground. Approx 3 feet. He has a spot on his bottom jaw that moves. He seems to be in pain and won't eat, but will get up to drink water. He has started to lose control of his bladder today and is weak when he gets up. Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated

Hi there!
It is very important that you bring him to the vet. He may have a broken jaw that needs surgery for correction, and the longer you leave it the more difficult it will be to fix. Loss of bladder control can be because of the pain or because of the fact that he does not feel like getting up, but also could be because of neurological damage in his spine. Please have him checked out at the vets ASAP.
Good luck, I really hope he will be ok
