Hahaha...Vinnie did the EXACT same thing a couple of years ago. I was at a friend's house and Vinnie was on their (very high) bed. He went to jump off and landed funny, hurting his elbow. The next day, he would barely walk at all. I was sure something was broken. I immediately took him to the vet's office and she too, by looking at him, assumed he had a break somewhere. He would not put a single ounce of pressure on his front leg and was whimpering in pain. So, they did a ton of x-rays and found...nothing.

Here's the weird part - once they did the x-rays and we all calmed down, clearly seeing that his leg was fine, Vinnie walked right out of the vet's office. He limped a bit and we did have to ice his elbow for a couple of days, but he didn't do any of the drama-ridden refusing to walk. TOTAL diva.
