Hi Ryan, I recommend that you take mom and the kittens into see a veterinarian as soon as possible. The limping with the swelling in the kitten is very concerning. This could be from and injury but it could also be infection or a growth abnormality. If there is infection this can potentially become serious or even life threatening if not treated. Mom having worms is also concerning because she can pass some worms to the kittens which can lead to anemia or other issues depending on the worm load. Your vet can talk to you more about the treatment mom and the kittens need after they have examined them.
