Limping but not holding paw

[lyndsie a]

Yesterday I came home and my boyfriend told me he noticed our 4 month old cat Luke was limping when he got home. I watched him and noticed his back right leg was the one hurt. He's not bloated, not holding up his paw, but will hiss if it gets tweaked the wrong way. He's walking, jumping and playing with his 2 month old brother. Should we take him to the vet right away or give him a couple days, maybe isolated to rest up? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. I'm a worried mama right now

I would take him right away. While your kitten might get better on his own, it is always best to make sure by taking him to the vet. Cats are masters at hiding pain and are very stoical. If he is actually showing pain, it must really hurt. Here's hoping he's better soon!

Thank you! That was my gut reaction!
