Expert Answer

A cat fracture generally needs over a month, with the time by severity. On finding one, take the cat to a vet promptly; the vet decides external or internal fixation by degree. Severe fractures without fixation may heal crooked and affect walking. So if you suspect a bone issue, see a vet in time.
