My kitten is limping and not putting weight on his leg. Vet needed?

Question

Hello, My kitten just started limping after he played at my friends house. I'm not quite sure what to do. He's not putting any weight on it when he eats either. Thank you, Jusleen. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 3 months old | 3.4 lbs

It might be a bruise or something worse, if he doesn't go back to put at least some weight on the leg in the next 24 hours I would advise taking him to the vet to check if the leg is broken. If he starts using the leg gradually then it is a good sign, try to keep him rested, don't encourage playing, running or jumping.
