Hey everybody!
I had some sad news, my black kitten got his back leg injured while playing with his brother this morning. He can't step on his leg and he cries in pain if I touch him even softly. I cried too by looking him in such a pain, he's just a 2 months old baby his limps must be very fragile.
So we took him to the Vet, we finally found a decent veterinarian in our town, because in China it's not as common as in the Us. So I was reluctant to going to a Vet near my home because I saw him smoking inside the clinic and there was lack of hygiene too, but a Chinese friend told us about this good Vet and we went there this afternoon.
The X-ray showed that it wasn't a fracture! What a huge relief!! The vet gave him some medicine but not pain killers. He gave my kitten Glucosamine and another solution full of vitamins, calcium and stuff like that for the muscles and bones.
The kitten is resting on a box inside the toilet room because we need to keep him separated from his brother for a couple of days until he feels better. So what kind of pain killers can I give to my kitten to help him feel more comfortable during his recovery? Or should I just let him be? And also any advice about how to deal with a leg injury in kittens is very apreciate.
Pd: he's such a good boy, he didn't cry in the way to the Vet, he didn't pee or poo in the cradle as many cats do when in fear, he's even using the litter box on his own even though is very painful for him. Also he is taking all the medicine unbelievably well, this is the first cat I have seen is easy to give medicine!!
