kitten limping

[kiko2008]

my 3month old kitten is favoring his left hind leg. I felt his leg for any unusual swelling or bones that seem out of place there was none. He lets me touch it and doesn't meow or hiss. and he still hops on the furniture to lay down. I think his leg was hit by my front door.

I have a 4 year old female spayed cat and decided to get a little buddy for her to play with.  I found a 7 weeks old male kitty and brought him home.  Got him neutered and introduced them.  Since day one she hated him and couldn't stand the site of him.  It's been 5 months now and she only comes inside to eat (they both go and play outside, not together of course).  Everytime she sees him or anyone for that matter she backs into a corner hisses out of control, if she hears something she gets freightened and pees wherever she is.  She has changed dramatically and I'm worried she might not be well.  What should I do to help her?

Please take him to the vet for evaluation and X-Ray.  It may just be a sprain or strain, but limping is a sign of pain and there are analgesics that are effective and safe in kittens.  And of course if it is dislocated, or broken it can be treated.
