What to do if a stray cat has a broken leg, what to do if a cat has a broken leg

I can't handle it by myself and need to be sent to a pet hospital for **.

1 Incomplete fractures are difficult to distinguish from simple impact injuries, and most cases present with simple mild claudication and local swelling. When the fracture site is shallow, the periosteal swelling and pain along the fracture line can be palpated by palpation.

2 Common fractures of the femur, mandible and pelvic bone in cats are common. In dogs, fractures of the forearm and metacarpal bones (metatarsals) are common.

3. In the case of a complete non-open fracture of the limbs, severe pain at the fracture site, swelling caused by bleeding, degeneration or displacement, abnormal movement, etc., and the patient is unable to bear weight while walking. When a complex fracture injures a nerve is damaged, sensory impairment and muscle paralysis occur at the distals.

4 In the case of an open fracture, there is massive bleeding due to the disconnection of **, and the swelling is not significant. Sometimes the fractured end is exposed.

5. When the mandible is fractured, symptoms such as feeding and chewing disorders, salivation, mandible pain and deformity occur.

6 When the central nervous system is damaged by a fracture of the skull or vertebrae, symptoms such as vomiting, impaired consciousness, or paralysis may occur, depending on the severity.

7. When a pathological fracture occurs, both the primary symptoms and the fracture symptoms appear.

If a stray cat has a broken leg, it is best to take them to the pet hospital and pick them up.

First of all, it is necessary to distinguish whether the cat's leg is broken because of a dislocated joint or a fracture. In the case of joint dislocation, external fixation can be done with a cast and bandage. In the event of a fracture, the cat needs to be fixed internally, and the plate is surgically fixed to the bone.

At the same time, the repair of bones is inseparable from calcium, and the owner should also pay attention to calcium supplementation for cats.

1. External fixation.

How to recover faster when a cat's leg is broken needs to be judged first, and the cat is a joint dislocation or fracture. If the joint is dislocated, external fixation can be done with a cast and bandage. Experienced pet owners can also use external force to move the dislocated joint back into place.

But inexperienced owners should not try it lightly, so as not to make the cat hurt and injured.

2. Internal fixation.

If the cat has a fracture, external fixation is not much use, and internal fixation is needed at this time. If the cat has a bone crack or comminuted fracture, it should be fixed internally, and a steel plate should be placed on the fracture. In this case, the cat's recovery time will be longer, and the owner needs to have enough patience to take care of the cat.

3. Supplement more calcium.

During the period of self-repair of bones, pay attention to strengthening the cat's calcium supplementation, the formation of bones is inseparable from calcium, and the effective absorption of calcium also needs the help of vitamins. Therefore, if you want to improve the recovery speed of a broken leg in cats, you should usually feed your cat more high-calcium foods and use vitamin D at the same time.

The cat's leg is broken, you can go to the pet hospital to take a picture. You can choose surgery or a cast to make your cat's legs better. If you don't want to go to the hospital, you can find a stick and tie the broken cat leg to the stick.

But. There is a high probability that there will be sequelae. Cat legs may bend off.

Stray cats walk with their front legs folded, and one of them must have a leg problem. In addition, if he finds any danger, he wants to crawl forward. This is a dull and unscrupulous one, and you can take a good look at it. It is not easy for a stray cat to survive in the wild, and he may be injured by various injuries.

It doesn't matter if you don't have a pet hospital. You can go to the nearest clinic or veterinarian station and ask them for help.

In general, if a fracture or fracture occurs, there are two ways to fix it. One is to inject an anesthetic needle before amputation of lead mountain. Another way is to tie the good position with bandage cardboard, observe its recovery, and follow the trend.

Good luck to your kitten soon**!

It seems that you are also a kind-hearted person, good luck!

The cat's leg is broken, and it needs to be taken to the pet hospital for examination** and fix the wound location.

1.Reposition.

It is to restore the broken end of the fracture that has been displaced after the fracture to normal or close to the original anatomical relationship to restore the scaffold function of the bone. Reduction methods include closed reduction and surgical reduction.

2.Fixed. After the fracture is reduced, it is easy to re-shift due to instability, so it is necessary to use different methods to fix it in a satisfactory position and allow it to heal gradually. Commonly used fixation methods include: small splints, plaster bandages, external fixation brackets, traction brake fixation, etc., and these fixation methods are called external fixation.

If it is fixed by surgical incision with a steel plate, steel needle, intramedullary needle, screw, etc., it is called internal fixation.

3.Functional exercises.

Through the contraction of the muscles of the injured limb, the blood circulation of the tissues around the fracture is increased, the healing of the fracture is promoted, the muscle atrophy is prevented, and the function of the injured limb is restored to the normal state before the fracture as soon as possible by actively or passively moving the unfixed joints to prevent joint adhesion and capsular contracture.

Characteristics of broken leg fractures:

1) Deformity: The displacement of the fracture segment can change the shape of the affected limb, which is mainly manifested as shortening.

2) Abnormal activity: the part of the limb that cannot be moved under normal circumstances, abnormal activity occurs after fracture.

3) Bone fricative sound or bone rubbing sensation: After fracture, when the two fracture ends rub against each other, bone rubbing sound or bone rubbing sensation can be produced.

As long as one of the above three signs is found, the diagnosis can be confirmed, but if these three signs are not seen, the possibility of fracture, such as insertion fracture and fracture fracture, cannot be ruled out.

Processing method details

1. Quickly use the splint to fix the affected area, and the fixation should not be too tight; Soft objects are padded between the plank and the limbs, and then tied with straps, and the plank grows out of the upper and lower joints of the fracture site, and if there is no plank, it can be replaced by branches, rolling pins, umbrellas, newspaper rolls and other items.

2. Open fractures with bleeding from the breach can be compressed with clean and disinfectant gauze.

Not long after the broken leg lived, the wound was inflamed and secondary to sepsis, and his life was not long, and there was a pet hospital for another matter.

Generally, if the broken leg is not connected, the limb must be amputated, whether the amputation or the connection is required, the hospital needs to mix oral antibiotics in the meal, so it can only be so.

Downstairs, do you understand that cats have nine lives, how could there be a tall building in the past, at most on the second floor, the cat is not called to fall down, that is called jumping down, not dead because the cat has a good jumping ability. Do you think cats have nine lives, poisoned and severely inflamed, do you think they will come one life at a time? The resistance of any animal is the same, it is a miracle that a broken leg can survive, this world is not without miracles, but there are very few, I also hope it can survive, but there are no basic facilities, and the chance of survival is very low.

I've been raising cats for six years, and I know the habits of cats, plus I'm a veterinarian by profession, so I don't say everything and I say eight points, don't be overly optimistic about the problem, it's how it is. A broken leg is not a big problem, but what is a big problem?

Who said that cats have nine lives

Cats themselves are very capable.

As long as it's not too serious, it won't die

The upstairs you have never had a cat, nonsense.

My cat fell from the window on the fourth floor of my house in the middle of the night and fell on the roof tile on the first floor.

I went to him the next day and he was fine

You see that that might be too small.

But it shouldn't be a big problem.

Since you can survive if you break your leg, it's no big problem.

It's that the leg will be lame in the future.

You can feed them something to eat.

Bibimbap or anything is OK.

But it's best not to feed milk.

Let's take a ** look at it first and see if you need to fix it.

Step 1: Approach the cat carefully. If the cat is anxious or frightened, it can be controlled if necessary.

Step 2: Examine the cat's broken leg and determine if the fracture is open (there is a wound near the fracture site, or a puncture of the bone**) or closed (**no rupture).

Step 3: If it is a closed fracture, perform step 4. If it is an open fracture:

Step 3a: Rinse the wound thoroughly with water. Never use any other disinfectant.

Step 4: Never attempt to splint the fracture. Use a large folded towel to support the cat's unsplinted limb from underneath and immediately take the cat to the veterinarian.
