You should call the vet and give him an update and ask if there is anything he did that would cause the kitten to limp. If he gave any vaccines or injections in a leg, etc. If not, you could rest him for a few days and see if it improves or take him back to that vet or a different vet for an examination. A vet could take an xray to make sure there isn't a break. Although, I think it would be very unlikely for a kitten to break a leg during an examination. Hope he feels better soon!
