Reactions to a cat's sprained ankle:

When the cat is walking, it can be clearly seen that the injured leg is unable to exert force. When touching the injured leg, the cat will have a strong reaction, and even display aggressive behavior towards humans. It is recommended to take the cat to a pet hospital for an X-ray to check the condition of the bones, exclude the possibility of fractures, and avoid delaying the diagnosis and treatment. During the treatment period, the cat can eat joint prescription food.

How long does it take for a broken bone to heal after a cat is twisted?

If it is a mild fracture, it will take about a month to heal, and if it is severe, it may take three months or so. Generally, older cats will take longer to recover than younger cats. It should also be noted that owners should not rub the cat's bones, as this will exacerbate its condition. Under suitable conditions, it is still recommended to take the cat to an animal hospital for X-rays, and undergo surgery to set the bones, as allowing the cat's bones to heal naturally may risk malunion.
