There is an infection of some kind, probably would have gotten in through a scratch or a thorn in the kitten's leg. If there is so much pus and inflammation that the whole leg is swollen, you need to get the kitten to a vet immediately as an infection this severe is endangering its life. It will need antibiotics, and if the infection is very bad it may even need to stay at the vet's.

Will mother cats take care of their kittens if touched by humans?
The real question is, is the cat yours? Are you close to the cat, and does she trust you. She will NOT kill the kitten, but she may bite or scratch you if sh is not familiar with you. She will allow people she is close to to handle the kittens from the day they are born. Unless you are sure the cat is close to you (emotionally) than the best advice is to give the mama cat and her new babies some space.

Can a cat birth a underdeveloped kitten and still carry the rest to full term?
It's possible that the cat can miscarry one kitten and still carry the rest full term. If your cat has miscarried one kitten, I advise you to take her to the vet because if a kitten died in her it could make her very ill, or even die, and it can also harm the other kittens.

What makes just one of your ankle swell?
Usually an injury or some kind of trauma to the ankle, foot or leg. If it's very painful or lasts for more than a day or two you would want to see a doctor. If it's a little sore, you can try an over-the-counter pain reliever such as Tylenol or Motrin and keep it elevated. You can also try an ice pack wrapped in a towel to help reduce the swelling.
