  3. Hind leg dislocation. Is a good idea?

Hind leg dislocation

2017-02-26 17:26:44
My cat is limping(hind leg) and after xray the vet said its a dislocation and that she would limp forever. Surgery, he said, should be considered only if she is in a lot of pain as she could lose flexibility in the leg. Please suggest if there is any way she could get better or if surgery is a good idea? Cause of dislocation - not known.

Dislocation can be fixed by applying sling bandage so that the movement of that leg is restricted so kindly ask ur vet for sling bandage but talking abt surgery it has some constraints and doctor is Ryt abt that. Regards Dr. Prachi Kshatriya
