Kitten with a funky back leg

[caliskittens]

My cat had kittens a week ago. One is just fine, It is completely normal. The other has a bit of a funky back leg. They are both moving around a lot and crawling around the floor. The normal one is moving around all over the place using it's legs the way that cats are supposed to. The other kitten seems to have a twisted leg that he just drags behind him because it doesn't work. Should I bring him to the vet to get it looked at? Or should I wait a little while until they are actually walking to see if it is an issue? This is his leg

Best to have this baby seen by a vet sooner rather than later. Sometimes *properly* splinting the leg/foot at this early stage (when it is more pliable) can correct the problem without the need of further treatment. Other times doing some physical therapy can be of great assistance.
