When a cat’s leg is run over by a car and it starts limping, this usually means the injured limb’s joints, bones, or soft tissue have been traumatized. Take the cat to a veterinary hospital for an X-ray as soon as possible to confirm whether there is a fracture. If a fracture is confirmed, the choice between internal fixation and external fixation will depend on the specific condition. Without timely treatment, infection or deformity during healing may develop, and in serious cases it can even threaten the cat’s life.
