i understand that you are worried about your pet and would like help, but with the information you provided and without pictures, that really is a hard task.

Does it appear to be in a death curl and does it have access to water? If it injured the leg and lost hemolymph, it may need water to help replace the hemolymph, so wet the substrate for it and make sure it has access to water if it does need it.

If it is not moving its leg, it is possible that it will shed the leg, but like i said above pictures would help.

What i can offer you is some peace of mind. We had a P. murinus sling, a little smaller than yours lose a leg. It had completely regenerated it within 2 molts. The first molt the leg was there, but puny and by the second molt it was completely fine.

Given the small dimension, he/her will probably cheat death. Follow the advices of curiousme and good luck.

uhm it doesn't appear to be in a death curl.....
and it doesn't have water access because it's still an inch but it's enclosure is kinda wet during the morning don't know why.......dew I guess....
anyways It looks like it's normal you wouldn't even notice that it's back leg is damaged......you may notice it if you see it walk but for pictures I think it may look like a normal unharmed sling
sorry for my english....

If it doesn't appear to be in a death curl, then you are probably okay, since you said it happened before school.(i am guessing 6-8 hours?) Spray the substrate a little for it and keep a close eye on it. If it drops the leg, don't freak, because it will seal off the wound itself if it drops it by itself.(ours did) It will look lopsided and a little funny, but it should be right as rain in a couple molts.

Here look at ours

That moisture you see in the morning is condensation from the humidity in the enclosure. Also, your English was fine, so no need to apologize!
Good luck!

Slings are surprisingly tough. Unless it was crushed in the fall, chances are it will be fine. Watch it closely and follow the advice curiousme has already given.

i just found a 'not so great' pic of the sling when it had the puny leg. Its the 3rd leg on the left.(his left, not yours)
