Our 5 month old Cairn jumped onto a chair in the kitchen and then onto the
work surface to get at the food and has fallen. He doesn't appear to be in
pain (what I mean is he isn't crying or whining) but he is limping and has
one back leg up and wont put it down. He will let me touch it no problem and
doesn't mind me moving it, he doesn't cry but cannot weight bear on it.

Hand on my heart I honestly cannot afford to take him to the vets and I
don't physically have the money. Can anyone help me and tell me what I can
do? I cannot find a PDSA in the Somerset area.

You really need to see a vet. Can your Cairn's breeder or
rescue offer any sort of temporary help?

That link should help you find a PDSA practice in your area. I understand
that if you aren't covered by the catchment area of their vets they have
arrangements with more local private vets, (under a scheme called Pet Aid).
I think you have to contact their central number and they will give you the
names and numbers of your local participating vets
One thing to note is eligibility, you have to be on certain benefits to
qualify.
