Fracture

Fracture: There are two types of fractures - simple, when there is no visible break in the skin, and compound, when a bone protrudes from a wound. Deformations of the legs as a result of a fracture may be apparent, the animal's movements may be abnormal, or the legs may be unable to sustain the cat's weight. Usually the pet cries out continually. The vet should treat all fractures. It is best not apply a splint by yourself.
