My kitten fell from stairs. What symptoms mean emergency vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 25 days old | 1.1 lbs

My kitten just fell off the stairs in my house (around 10 feet). She directly ran and hid under the couch. I ran to her to check on her. She was tearing a lot and salivating a bit. Her tongue was sticking out then she took it back in after few seconds. She's sitting and not being active now. She's sneezing every now and then. I applied pressure on all her bones and there were no signs of pain. Please advise on what to do. Thank you.

I would take Hova into a vet now to be checked out. She's quite small, and she could have some internal injuries from the fall. She needs to be examined by a vet to make sure she is ok. Best of luck.
