4 days ago I found a very tiny blind kitten. She's about 4 weeks old, probably a feral and was abandoned and sick. I took her to the vet and they gave her antibiotics and something to take her fever down and prescribed topical antibiotic eyedrops (Torbrex) and gel (corneregel) for her eyes. She's been doing really well and her eyes are certainly looking better (though she can't see) . She has also gained about 40g (350-390) in 3 days and is using the litter tray and eating (goats yogurt because I cant get milk here in Belgrade) mashed into wet kitten food.
We went again to the vet today and he gave her another shot of antiobiotics and some worming paste.
She went pretty much straight to sleep on my husband, I moved her off him because h also fell asleep on the sofa and I was worried she might roll or walk off his lap. So moved her onto a blanket, after about 15 mins she got up to use the litter tray and seems to have hurt her right front leg/paw.
She's limping and won't really put much weight on it and I don't know what I can do.. or what might have caused it? I was watching the whole time and she didn't fall or anything.
Any advice on how to check what might be causing it. I'm new to all this and a bit panicky .
Thanks
