My cat sprained its leg. How long until it's fully recovered?

Question

How long does it take to a cat to heal from a sprained leg? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Male | unneutered | 11 months and 3 days old | 15 lbs

It can take up to 3-4 weeks for a cat to completely heal from a sprained leg. It's very important to keep them as rested as possible during this time, confining the cat to a small room or crate to reduce movement. Pain medication can help, but you should only give pain meds prescribed by your vet. Many human ones are toxic to cats and are fatal if given.
