It seems like it may be a broken bone. There is some swelling of the
toes that is most likely caused by the injury.
He might have accidentally hung his foot on something and was
hurt as he pulled free. Or something could have fallen on the leg
where the injury is visible.
He needs rest, calcium with cod liver oil....along with a diet
rich in vitamins and minerals. Fresh green leafy vegetables,
finely choppled. Hard boiled eggs can be mashed--including the
eggshell finely pulverised (calcium source)

Please keep me updated on his progress
