My cat has an injured leg?

I left my cat in the care of our neighbors while I went on holiday for a week. He had the company of our other two cats in our home. When I returned from holiday, Milo was limping and he was favoring his back leg. I thought that it was a fairly superficial injury initially but it's been a week since I returned and he's still limping. I am taking him to the vet in a couple of days but was just wondering if anyone had any opinions on how this will be handled. Milo is using his leg but can't seem to run, play or climb. If they X-ray and determine a break or fracture of some kind, would they splint it? If he's using the leg then wouldn't it make sense to just let time heal it? I'm hoping that they'll give him some kind of anti-inflamatory medication but after that, what else could possibly be done?

No one on here can diagnose your cat. Why have you waited to take him to the vet??? It's already been a week since you've gotten back and now he's not going in for another "couple of days"? Your cat is INJURED how is this not urgent to you? I have a feeling you don't even have an appointment, scheduled do you? I'm sure you posted this question just so some idiot would say "Oh don't worry" to justify your doing NOTHING. Shame on you.

There are some great organic flea treatments. as quickly as I had a backyard we constantly have been given constructive nematodes. They labored splendidly in that section. every person who thinks feeding garlic (poisonous) to a cat to kill fleas for sure does not understand the meaning of organic. it truly is not any longer purely some thing that could strengthen by applying itself, organic is a few thing that would join a cat's eating regimen besides. so as that regulations out garlic and maximum any grains that doesn't be got here upon interior the tummy of a prey animal. a sprint good judgment and common experience is going a protracted way. One problem is that cats purely tutor they are in soreness whilst it truly is extreme and each each now and then no longer even then. whilst one among mine had an contaminated colon my bf saved announcing it may no longer be that undesirable pre-vet bypass to by using fact the cat confirmed little soreness. It wasn't until eventually he observed the x-ray that he ultimately believed me approximately cats no longer displaying soreness. i do no longer run to the vet for each little element yet I save on eye on their interest stages, waste, coat difficulty... for any indicators that some thing is rather incorrect by using fact i understand that by applying the time they start displaying misery it may already be too previous due. There are homeopathic vets - if somebody needs homeopathic treatments then it is the place to bypass, asking random human beings on the information superhighway is in no way a sturdy decision for wellness suggestion.

A cat I had once fell from the top bunk of our bed and broke his hind leg. They put a cast on him and he heeled pretty good. The only problem was he kept trying to lick the cast off.

He will get used to the cast and be up in no time.
