You would certainly take your child to A & E with the injury described. !
If I were dragging my leg (even though only a twisted ankle) would certainly attend A & E. Always difficult to tell the difference between a twisted/sprained/broken ankle (and I have had 'em all) and the damage can be exacerbated in the meantime.
Yes, of course, there is a difference between a child and a cat, however, once you take on a pet they are entitled to the same amount of care to avoid suffering, this is why we have such bodies as the R.S.P.C.A.
