Kitten with a swollen back foot

Question
Hello, I noticed my new kitten doesn't walk around and when he does, he doesn't let his back foot touch the floor, I looked at it and noticed his foot is swollen and it looks like there is a wound that is half healed but its not a big wound, just a small one. I was wondering what it could be? I don't know anything about the cats history, I just got him today.

Answer
Ashley,

Remember, I am not a veterinarian, but, if it were my kitty, the first thing I would do, under the circumstances, is go to a vet. It could be anything from a broken bone to a severe sprain or, maybe, "limping kitten" syndrome. That is why the kitten needs to see a vet.
