How much does it cost to XRAY a Kittens hind leg?

I found her under the couch crying.
Answers:
For starters you need to take the kitten to a vet for an office exam. Frequently the vet can tell by feel if there is a break. If it is just a strain or superficial injury the vet might bandage it for additional support or give you some pain medication for the kitten.

So whatever the charge for the exam is locally for you is where you start. X-rays can run pretty high and they might not be necessary at all.
Call your local clinics and ask.
typically an xray will easily run you a good $100 MINIMUM, depending on how many different shots they need.
just phone and find out - can be anywhere from $75 up
depending if they need to sedate her.
As Old Cat said, the first thing you should do it take her to the vet. He or she may well be able to tell if the leg is broken without needing an X-ray, and if it is broken, a X-ray may not be necessary for it to be set correctly.

Do you have any idea what happened?
