I was sleeping (it was night time), and I don't know what happened, if he fell over from something or what I don't know

He's almost 10 weeks old

I always leave him a plate of food before I sleep so that he wouldn't be too hungry in the middle of the night, and I usually find it empty when I wake up, but today it was full, he didn't rat a single bite, I tried giving it to him by finger he still didn't want it, so I put him some yoghourt in a plate with some cheese and chicken, he usually gobbles it up, but he only took a few licks, didn't finish the plate, so I made him some milk(powdered and really diluted) I know I shouldn't give him that but he loves it and I thought I would get something in his stomach, he drank some then stopped

Then I noticed he was limping! He won't put his hind leg on the floor much!!

And the vet won't open today or tomorrow


So I can only take him on Saturday 


So I don't know what to do to not make it so painful or to help him, and I don't know what to do :( Please help!!

I'm so sorry.  How odd that a vet isn't open thurs or fri, hard to understand but ok.  You can gently feel along his leg and see if he reacts to gentle pressure along its length, but its probably just strained in some way and may improve before you see the vet. There is no safe OTC pain medication you can give him so please don't do that, and continue to offer him very yummy food.

Also, i would enforce cage rest until you can see a vet to limit further pain or damage.  Do you have a crate you can put him in?
