Kitten in pain ,what should i do?

jozi

We got 2 kittens, not sure how old now, but one of them (male) got in a fight with another cat yesterday and has since been very quiet. Normally the 2 are playin alday but whenever they do now the one just lies there taking the abuse and starts whining loud and spitting.
There's something wrong with it's front leg, when ever you lift it it whines to.
Not sure if there's a reason or just that the cat is stuppid but it wont get out of the sun, and its pretty hot today!
Anyone know what would be the best to do? I have already brought it in but it wont ly still.
If it wsn't for our dog the other cat prob would have killed the kitten!

My cat always gets in fights too. But the same kind of thing happened to its leg and it couldnt walk so I brought it to the vets, I was given tablets and told to keep my cat in and not to let it walk around on its sore leg(to let it heal). After a few days it was back to normal.

Keep it inside in a warm room with food & water. If it appears to not be eating/ drinking you may need to bring it to a vet. Check it for bites & other wounds. Cat bites tend to get infected quickly as cats have lots of bacteria in their saliva. If it has bites that are swollen/ appear infected you'll need to take it to a vet. Has it been vaccinated?

Thanks for the replies

I'll get my mam to give it a look over for bites etc, i dont trust cats that much!
I just got vaccinated on wednesday or so.
Don't think it has been eating or drinking, not much anyway if it has.
