Limping kitten

Omi is a 3 months old Scottish Fold and he hurt his left leg. He immediately started meowing and hissing at us. He didn't let us touch him at all so we went to the vet right away. He was consulted and we were told that he had nothing, but we still asked for an X-ray because he was limping quite badly. The vet told us again that nothing was noticeable and that he would not recommend anti-inflammatory drugs because he is too small. Almost 24 hours have passed and the situation does not seem to have improved. I can see that he is sad even though he eats, drinks water or play a little, and I don’t know how to help him. Here are the X-rays, if you see anything..

Hello!  It reads to me as if you took a cat to the vets that you thought was extremely lame and the vet thought that nothing was wrong at all and that the cat didn't merit pain relief.  This is confusing and difficult for me to give an opinion on!  Sometimes cats are trying to look strong in the vets and so completely hide, or mask lameness that is obvious to the owner at home - could this be a possibility? We do not give second opinions on radiographs so I haven't looked, but it's worth mentioning that, generally speaking, not all forms of lameness are detectable radiographically, so a radiograph never proves that 'nothing is wrong' with an animal. I can make a general comment that there are forms of pain relief that three month old cats can have - do have, indeed - so I wonder if the vet has other reasons for not giving them or an interpretation that I am not able to appreciate over the internet? Perhaps the next stage in this case would be to ask your vet to explain the gait that you are seeing or, indeed, if they can refer you for a second opinion, as it sounds as though you have no trust in them as it stands.  If you think that your pet is in untreated pain at the moment, I would recommend you could get this done as an emergency. Best of luck.
