My cat hurt his paw, isn't eating, and wheezes. Should I go to ER?

Question

My cat hurt his front left arm. He isn’t eating and he doesn’t go to the bathroom but he did drink water. He curls his paw and walks like that and it clearly hurts but he also wheezes. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male

It’s actually quite serious when a cat won’t eat, and that tells me Nightfury is in a lot of pain. Unfortunately there are no OTC pain medications you can give him. Many are toxic to cats, and are fatal if given. You need to take him into an ER vet now.
