I. How to judge cat legsFractures
1 , Depending on the degree of pain of the cat, a leg fracture will bring different degrees of pain and tenderness, because the tip of the fracture will stab the blood vessels and nerves of the surrounding tissue, so the cat’s leg fracture will be accompanied by strong pain, and even cannot walk.
2. Look at the color of the skin at the fracture site. Fractures will cause damage, swelling and congestion of surrounding tissues, so the skin at the fracture site may appear bluish-purple ecchymosis.
3. Look at the cat’s tactile response. If the cat’s leg is fractured, the bones are displaced, and the cat’s leg will have obvious deformities. If you touch it with your hand, you can feel the unevenness and The cat will feel tenderness.
4. Look at the cat’s walking status. After the cat’s leg is fractured, it is basically impossible to walk normally, and it often lies in one place and does not move because of the unbearable pain.
Second, how to judge a cat’s leg sprain
1. After a cat’s leg is sprained, it will limp when walking , walks with legs next to each other, and generally has difficulty walking and is depressed.
2. The cat’s leg may not be swollen when it is just sprained, but it may become swollen after a day or two. The owner should observe carefully.
3. Sprains are only injuries to soft tissues such as muscles and ligaments. If the situation is not serious, they can usually heal on their own. Bruising is also sometimes present and can be clearly seen.
4. Because the sprain of the cat’s leg may not be so easy to detect, it is very necessary to give the cat a regular physical examination, so as to know the cat’s physical condition in time.
A sprained cat’s leg may not be as serious as a broken leg, but it can also stress the cat and cause other symptoms. Therefore, whether it is a sprain or a fracture, treatment measures should be taken once it is found, so that the cat can recover as soon as possible, and it is also a sense of security for the cat to walk normally. If you have other related questions, you can also consult your veterinarian.
