Avatar f tn found a kitten it's been hit by car. Been giving antibiotics. Don't know what to do about front leg it's broken,bone is sticking out & open wound. It was a lot worse. should I wrap it or leave it open?
Avatar n tn I, too, found a stray with a problem. My cat's leg was broken and the vet recommended amputation. They could either surgically create a hip for the cat or amputate it's leg so that the cat could jump and run around!
Avatar n tn my 3month old kitten is favoring his left hind leg. I felt his leg for any unusual swelling or bones that seem out of place there was none. He lets me touch it and doesn't meow or hiss. and he still hops on the furniture to lay down. I think his leg was hit by my front door.

Avatar f tn My kitten fell off a shelf and twisted his leg about four days ago and he is behaving normally with the exception of being a bit off balance and some limping. However, his shoulder that he twisted is swelling and it doesn't seem to be going down. Is there anything I can do to help the swelling?

Anyway he reacted an threw it an its hurt. It will not walk on its back leg for anything i feel terrible, im sure hubby feels bad now.
Avatar m tn well she really should see a Vet for xrays to determine if the hip is broken, if this heals wrong she may never get the use of the leg back but it could also be just badly bruised, perhaps some ligament damage(?) without an xray its hard for me to advise you. if its only muscle injury, it will heal itself. but if its broken than she will have lasting damage.
Avatar f tn getting her leg or arm caught in something and causing a sprain, strain, fracture, or subluxation. This could be painful and she may not want to eat or drink due to the pain. A second possibility is that she could have ingested a toxin and that is causing neurological symptoms including wobbliness that seems like a limp? An additional possibility is a reaction to a medication placed on topically, such as a flea or tick preventative. Some cats are sensitive to some tropicals.
Avatar m tn It sure IS possible your kitty has a broken paw. You mist get him to a Vet ASAP. Kittens are very fragile and it does not take much to break their tiny bones. Please let us know what the vet says, K?
Avatar f tn My kitten I adopted is living in a house with 4 dogs, 2 of them which are very big...and I think that they broke his foot/leg. I talked to a friend, and she said that she could feel popping in her heel when she moved it around, and everytime he jumps off of the counter or bed, he starts moaning really loud. I don't really know exactly what it is that's hurting him, it's been like a month or less since he got it. Do you know what it is?
Avatar n tn I have a 3 week old kitten, I think somehow its neck is broken its twisted sideways and crys and can only roll around what do I do will he recover is he in pain.
Avatar n tn Sadly, in the worse case scenario, if your kitten has a completely broken back near her head or chest (high up on the spinal cord) there is very little that can be done, unfortunately. She will probably be paralysed and not able to move or use her front or rear legs. She would be urinary and fecal incontinent and may require expression of her bladder so that it will not burst.
Avatar n tn Hi, I hope that your kitten is okay and she's seen a vet by now. Not sure if you know this, but when you suspect any kind of injury to the neck animal/people, you don't move them at all....esp. the neck. There's a chance that you can paralyze them, if you do.
Avatar f tn She was all black but her toes on her right hind leg started to turn color. It spread up her leg and now the other hind leg appears to be doing the same thing, It's like she is turning into a calico and I have never heard of such a thing before. Has aanyone else?
Avatar m tn I have a 6 week old kitten that was dropped on his head from the rafter by his mother, His head flops around and he's very weak, what can I do for him or is there nothing left to do?
649848 tn?1534633700 I went back to the orthopedic doctor on Monday and he says my broken foot has healed enough to get out of the air cast/boot and that I can walk on my foot some. I must not go barefoot and need wear "sturdy" shoes at all times. That's kind of a pain because I don't have anything easy to slip on/off that can be considered sturdy. That leaves typing/untying sneakers all the time.
770551 tn?1305578901 I snuggled him, fed him and when I put him down to let him roam I noticed one of his back legs was DANGLING. He poor little leg was broken, snapped in half. But he was sooooo sweet and cuddly and purred like a motorboat. We assumed he was feral or born to a feral cat in the neighborhood (lots of strays around here, most of whom are so anti-social and skittish). He has done wonderfully! No special care or attention required.
Avatar n tn this kitten really needs to see a Vet...the paw may well be broken or she may have some internal injuries....
Avatar m tn Hi there. Yes, it definitely sounds like your poor kitten has a broken jaw. I see you're in Saudi Arabia. Do you have easy access to a vet? How is your kitten today?
Avatar f tn Kitten one year old appears to have a hip joint dislocated. It holds it's hind leg out at an angle from it's body and can't put any weight on it.
Avatar n tn I recently found out my 10 week old manx kitty has manx syndrome. I've done some research on it and I see that a lot of the cats don't have control of their back legs. My kitten gets around very well and jumps around everywhere! So I was wondering, can she lose control of the legs later on or is that something they are born with?
Avatar n tn my kitten got out lastnite and came back looking freaked out,his leg looks like he really cant walk on it.theres no cuts on him he also has been hissing at my other cats he wont drink or eat.all hes doing is sleeping what this sound like?
Avatar f tn Not really bad but worrying no doubt. This past Sunday night, my kitten bit my leg while playing with my pants leg. It was a deep puncture wound. My kitten had not had shots. I cleaned it of course with alcohol. Saw my dr the next day and got antibiotics. Took my kitten to the vet for shots the same day. Vet said she looked healthy. She received distemper but since she was only 3 months old, she has to wait for rabies shot for another month. Tuesday I ran low-grade temp.
Avatar f tn I have a male kitten that is about 8 weeks old. he was a stray and without his mother since he was about 4 to 4 1/2 weeks old. for a week and a half he was being fed, etc where my boyfriend works where he was born on the property. his mother and other siblings all took off. my boyfriend brought him home about 2 weeks ago and we've adopted him. I took him to the vet the next day and he was wormed.
995438 tn?1251758280 For the past 4 days in the middle of the night my cat comes into the bed room, meows, gets in my face, meows in my face and gently bites me, then he goes down to my leg and grabs on and starts going at it and i tried to shake him off and his grip was deadly. I was like oh god just like him finish! But my boyfriend got him off and now we put a spray bottle next to the bed, filled with water and as soon as he comes him he get sprayed.
Avatar f tn My 10 week old kitten appears to have an extra pad growing further up her leg and when I touch it she pulls it away as if she is in pain. What could this be?
