My young kitten is limping with a bump on her arm. Is it broken?

Question

My kitten is limping and her arm doesn't look quite right. There's a bump on it that otherwise I would think was a joint, maybe it is and I just don't know what I'm doing. But either there isn't a joint like it on the other arm or she's not bending it. Anyways, she is limping with the arm that has said bump. I don't know if it's broken because she still puts some weight on it from time to time. But by how it looks I can't help but think it is broken.. She's only a couple months old.

If you think there is any chance Orea has a broken leg she should be seen by a veterinarian. The vet can determine how serious the injury is, the approriate treatment and also help her with pain medication. Until you can get her to the vet, keep her in a small area with food, water and litterbox, but where she can't run or jump and further injure herself. Usually a large dog crate works well to confine a kitten for a short period of time.
