9 week old pain management?

[ms688]

the abandoned kitten i bottle fed is now 9 weeks old and doing great, but he took a tumble off the cat tree today and though it wasn't terribly tall, he seemed to land bad and has been favoring his paw since then. he doesnt fuss when i touch it or bend it/test it. it's definitely not broken or fractured, but i think it might be a pretty severe sprain of some sort. is there any kind of homeopathic pain management that's safe for his age? i have arnica at home but have never dosed it to a kitten before and wouldn't want to without some evidence from others who have tried it. my vets are closed until monday.

Can you call er to ask questions? I wouldn't try anything at home or otc. Is there a petstore you can get to?

A vet visit is best. They can give you a kitten dose of pain meds or cortisone. I had a kitten who hurt his paw racing around playing and a cortisone injection fixed him right up.

I would not use any home remedies.
