When a cat is fractured, there will be bone deformation and displacement at both ends of the fracture (such as longitudinal displacement, lateral displacement, angular displacement, rotational displacement, etc.). ), the affected limb will show abnormal postures such as bending, shortening and lengthening. Secondly, abnormal activities, such as flexion and rotation (but not obvious for vertebral and rib fractures). The sound of bone rubbing can be heard at the broken end of the bone. In addition, you can also see symptoms such as swelling, bleeding, pain and mattress dysfunction. Open fractures are often accompanied by large soft tissue trauma, bleeding and bone fragments. At this time, the fractured cat has obvious systemic symptoms, such as refusing to eat, pain, anxiety, and sometimes accompanied by elevated body temperature. To judge whether the cat is broken, you can touch the whole body first to see if there is any part where they will scream because of pain, then remember this position and touch it later. If it still screams because of pain, it probably means a fracture. And cats often walk unnaturally after a fracture. Of course, the most direct way is to send them to the hospital for X-ray examination.
