Thank you for your replies. I took him to the vets and he thought it wasn't broken. He didn't want to risk putting him under anesthetic and prescribed pain medication. That's seems to have worked as over a week later now he still has a slight limp but is happily putting weight on it when he runs about. If anything it has made him more keen to sit and have a cuddle. Such a relief as he really scared me. I think he must have hurt himself in the same way as Creampuff described.
