My cat hurt his leg :'(

[FishGirl115]

Hey guys. Please pray for my barn kitty. His name is Max. 4 days ago he hurt his leg. Now it's stiff and bent inward. We're afraid it's broken. We're going to the vet tomorrow morning (which tells you how bad it is because normally my parents never let us take our barn cats to the vet). I really hope my baby makes a full recovery.
P.S the pictures attached are before he hurt his leg

I've raised and distributed barn kitties in the process of fixing our ferals... good luck to you and its a great thing that you're doing, keeping a barn kitty. How on earth did he manage to do that?? Poor little guy.

I don't know. Him and his sister used to be indoor cats (they're front declawed and fixed) until they started not using the litter pan. Now they've been living outside for a year.

Turns out it's not broken. It's just an infection/abscess. There's two puncture wounds that we didn't notice, so Max either got into a fight or a trap. He had a fever too. They gave us antibiotics and pain meds for him.

I hope he gets better. Good luck, I hope you out why.

Since neither of your cats have front claws, neither of them have any way to defend themselves unfortunately. Since they now live outside I would be very vigilant and making sure that there isn’t raccoons or any other type of animal that could possibly hurt your kitty again. Maybe if possible you could keep them in a garage or a closed barn during the night, that’s when most animals come out that would likely fight with your cat. I hope your cat will be OK and thankfully it wasn’t worse and that he didn’t get rabies. Thought I’d just throw out some thoughts.

Thanks. I will try to do that

OMG! I hope that everything will be all right with your pet and that they can help him quickly. I cannot understand why you waited 4 days, you had to immediately contact a specialist if you saw serious injuries to your leg.

We can only hope he made a recovery
