Why is my 3-month-old kitten limping on a different paw now?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 3 months and 1 day old | 3 lbs

5 days ago, my little kitty with 3 months old started to limp with his right back paw. I took him to a vet and diagnostic with a muscle spam. Have him 2 injections and some medicines. Today he started to limp with a front left paw. He doesn't show any signs of pain. I'm very concerned. Please help Thank you Carlos

Hello Carlos! Limping is a sign of pain in cats, so if Tomaz is limping with his front left paw, he is in pain. It could be that because he was limping on the back paw, it put more pressure on his front paws, and now he's injured the left front paw. I'd take him back into a vet today. Best of luck.
