Has anyone ever had a kitten who broke or sprained its paw?
My kitten has been doing this thing where it climbs up this shelf in my bathroom and can't find it's way down. It hasn't been a problem because I just get it down and close it out of the bathroom, but I guess this morning when I left for work I forgot to close the door because I came home and found it in the bathtub.
I think it must have climbed up the shelf again, found itself unable to get down, and tried to jump down. (It's a good 2.5-3 foot fall for the little guy.) He won't let me touch it, which tells me it hurts him, and he keeps licking it.
If it's a sprain and will heal on its own, I don't want to spend the fortune to take it to the vet. But if it's broken, would the vet even set it? It's probably a little over a month old (not 100% sure because it was born some time while we were at the Summit) so it's still pretty small. I'm kind of at a loss, and I have to work till 1 tomorrow so I can't even guarantee I'll be able to get an appointment [emoji53]
