My cat fell down the stairs at home and fractured his bones. How to recover?
If it is confirmed that it is a fracture and you can feel it and you can feel it, then you must take it to the pet hospital for treatment. It is difficult to deal with it at home without tools.
Cats have fractures, mostly in their hind legs. If the fracture is broken, it needs to be fixed. It takes about half a month to recover without any sequelae.
Last year, when my cat jumped down from a shelf, his hind leg got stuck and accidentally broke his leg. He screamed in pain and hid under the bed to rest for a whole day. They were not allowed to come near and they were not allowed to eat. Later, I managed to get it out, and after taking a closer look at the hind legs, I found that it was indeed broken in the middle. I quickly took it to the pet hospital.
First, an X-ray was taken to confirm the bone fracture, and then surgery was performed to fix it. A circle of cloth was wrapped around the outside, and an Elizabethan ring was required. The doctor told me to come over for a checkup in a week, and about two weeks later, he removed it at home. After taking it apart, the hind leg became thinner, obviously much thinner than the other leg, and the muscles atrophied a lot. But he recovered quickly after a week.
In addition, the doctor also gave me a tube of nutritional ointment, which is specially formulated for calcium supplementation. Feeding 5 centimeters a day will help callus growth. The overall cost is about 1,000 yuan. For details, you can ask the pet hospital around you.
Personally, I think it is better to take the kitten for treatment. If it cannot recover on its own, or if it becomes deformed, although it does not affect life, it will be lame after all.
A cat’s life is also a lifetime.
