My small cat is limping. OTC pain relief if I can't afford a vet?

Question

My cat has been limping I believe my dog jumped on her she is been showing clear sins of pain like laying in her litter box peeing on herself, meowing when her leg is touched! I can't afford to go to the vet right now can I give her anything for pain over the counter she's 4 pounds 6 oz?? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 4.06 lbs

I am so sorry Mazzy isn't feeling well. There is nothing over the counter that you can give her- she is too small and nothing is safe for cats. There is also limited medications in veterinary medicine for cats. I would recommend keeping her confined with her litter box and food in a small crate or bathroom, so she doesn't re-injure herself. She does need to see a vet to rule out a fracture or dislocation. They will be able to prescribe something safe for pain for her. Good luck and kisses to Mazzy!
