I would definately call the vet, 51/2 weeks is pretty small to be stepped on - hope it's not poor China!

Cats are amazingly good at hiding pain so best to go to the vets.
At that age its best to keep them contained in one small area for their own safety.

Good luck at the vets

Good to know you are going to the vet. Their wee bones have not formed properly at that age so it can cause all sorts of complications later in life if there is any damage.

 :yayyy: so happy!
his leg is fine the vet says. i may have made it sound more dramatic..... he really didn't crush him, just caught him a little. Vet felt all around, pulled it, moved it etc... coco was fine. he is walking and running. he would like to x ray but we have to go back tomorrow.

4th trip to the vet this week. so far we've paid £83 n vet bills this week  :-:

i think the x ray may bump it up too. ahh well x
