My kitten has just turned 2 months old, this morning he jumped off my bed onto the floor and seems to have hurt his front left leg. He limped for what seemed like forever but probably only 1-3 minutes. He is now letting me touch is and move it, I'm just wondering if it could be broken? Should I take him to the Animal Hospital?

Ideally, he should be examined by a veterinarian. X-rays would be required to diagnose fractures. If he is scheduled for vaccines in the next day or two, you can have the vet examine his leg at that time. If the leg becomes swollen or bruised, Gucci should be examined immediately.
