How to Treat Cat Bone Fractures?

Canadian Sphynx Cat
Fractures are divided into simple fractures and compound fractures where the broken bone protrudes through the skin. Symptoms vary depending on the location. Limb fractures may show swelling at the fracture site, deformity with angles, or shortening; spinal fractures often cause hind limb paralysis; rib fractures lead to breathing difficulties; pelvic fractures make standing difficult; some Japanese cats are congenitally born with tail bone fractures. If fractures are not properly treated, they may cause bleeding, shock, and internal injuries.
If a cat suffers a fracture, it should be carefully transported to a veterinary hospital. The veterinarian will determine treatment based on fracture type, location, and the cat's age, using external immobilization such as casts or splints, or internal fixation methods like bone pins and plates to aid healing.(Source:PetsZone)
