Hello everyone!
My kitten 3 month old got a leg injury like 3 weeks ago, we took him to the Vet, he didn't have a fracture bones so the Vet suggested rest and some medicine.
So the kitten recovers but I notice something odd.
When he walks slowly he is always limping like if his leg hurts BUT when he runs and plays with his brother he doesn't limps at all, just run and play around normally.
I touched his paw and leg and he doesn't complain, it seems totally heal but he is still limping when he walks.
I wonder if he may 'think' his leg hurts because he remember it from before and keep limping even thought his leg is not longer injured. Can it be a psychological reaction to the memory of the pain he had 2 weeks ago?
