How To Splint A Cat's Leg (Fractured Cat Paw)(Aftercare from Vet Visit)

[@HA-lh4vp]

The way the cat is looking at you with trust and love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MeloCat]

Very much so

[@guugledelap6199]

such a good kitty cat; may she heal quickly

[@altaracerabbit]

She is so trusting of you!

[@MeloCat]

I know right? Gotta see it to know

[@naturalwitchery]

FINALLY! A really good video on this technique. Thank you!

[@MeloCat]

Useful but do talk to a vet first and don't try to DIY it yourself as it needs work to learn how to do it well and not cut off circulation, hope your kitty gets better soon!

[@gissel7216]

Thanks for the helpful tips, no doubt the little buddy healed up well after receiving such attentive care❤️🐾

[@icare4you123]

I consulted my vet and no openings for a week for my cats broken paw. They suggested emergency care, so I called them and they're only accepting level 4 which I guess is only really severe, life or death cases. Glad I found this video. Your cat is very cooperative.

[@MeloCat]

Make sure you don't wrap it too tight and check for it every 10 mins, because many oriole make that mistake and it causes amputation. Or check w an online vet if you can as this is the aftercare after a vet visit and is not to use as substitute for the vet:)

[@brittvaughn9447]

Everyone seems to show the front leg, but I can't find the back, which is structured quite differently. 😕

[@majorgrubert5887]

I got my cat back leg treated but it’s hissing and growling and t won’t rest… I can’t rest because he has a freak out every hour

[@alex1italic]

@@majorgrubert5887oh nooo hows he doing now?

[@paulc444]

Thank you for posting this video! Very helpful and informative.

[@aleeshaharding7785]

I’m glad I watch you !!! Thank u so much but I do have another question what do u have on your right hand ?? Is it for thumb pain or that general area??? Because both of my hands hurt from working with my hands so much !!

[@MeloCat]

I'm glad it helped but do note that this is aftercare from visiting a vet and not something to absolutely diy. It's a sports bandage my Physio gave me to help w my sprained wrist, it's called k-t tape:)

[@khawkey25]

Thank you. I'm not sure if my kitty will sit still like that!

[@majorgrubert5887]

I need advice very much so! My cat has broken back leg and I’ve took to vet and it’s split wrapped but it’s in such bad pain howling and hissing

[@MeloCat]

Sorry to hear that, just be super careful when wrapping it on your own as it can be too tight easily and that can do more damage than good~ I find that demonstrating to the vet to see if the tightness is too much or too little works real nice, also puts everyone's concerns to ease

[@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793]

If I had guts to splint my Stormy 😂🤣 Good work

[@MeloCat]

What would happen if you did?

[@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793]

@@MeloCat Her name is Stormy, for a reason 🐈 haha. She's feral. Although my groomer has more guts than I have cutting her nails. She's mostly sunny these days, but it has been a lot of work. I used to think of myself as a cat whisperer, until I met Stormy.

[@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793]

@@MeloCat She would tear me up

[@bestherc1951]

She is so a good baby! No mine, I have to fight with each one of them I have 4.

[@alex1italic]

Thank youu! i called vet clinics but all of them were either extremely expensive or busy. any other advice?

[@MeloCat]

There's no substitute, this is only the after care after seeing a vet. Have you tried video vet consultation at least?

[@rsh108]

Hi. Thank you for the video. I did the same,but my cat it manages to take it off some how, the bandage goes down day by day. There is a way to secure it better? Thank you

[@MeloCat]

You need to be super careful, better loose than tight as it can but off circulation, need to play around with it and gauge too. If not confident please check with a vet as it can be dangerous as a diy with no vet suggested advice

[@GLyndCreative]

Try an Elizabethan collar

[@jodo1971]

@@GLyndCreative the collar of shame, lol

[@robertberry8788]

My cat has a broken back leg he is also a outdoor cat *he is our neighbor cat that we took in , yet he is a bit shocking from a situation that happened last week with him and a dog.he has no wound to indicate blood loss , i wanna know how to console him to also aid his foot without him running back under our house?

[@kyliewalker6647]

I have this same situation! a stray cat my cat befriend has no collar, & eats at our house every night. I noticed he didn't show up for dinner last night as he normally does, and when I saw him just now I noticed he had a very swollen paw. and he felt warm to the touch. (infection). I wasn't quick enough to grab him before he ran off, but I was able to put a few mls of pain medication in his food. He definitely needs medical care, but he's very shy. I feel so sad, he looks like his paw has been run over which would be VERY painful. Poor baby..I will make sure I catch him tomorrow morning and take him to the local shelter for veterinary care in case it's broken.

[@sabrinavarrichione996]

I slammed my kittens leg and paw in a heavy door. It has swollen all over. No blood or cut should I wrap it like you did for your cats paw

[@MeloCat]

No don't, please go see a vet first. This method was a follow up after we visited the vet and was given the right splint size and bandages... please see your vet first~ Please get an x ray to check for Broken bones,meow

[@sabrinavarrichione996]

I did see the vet, she didn’t have a break or fracture. She is hopping around the vet didn’t wrap it at all

[@sadhanamane6853]

How many day bandage will be applied

[@MeloCat]

just over 2 months~

[@Atherton0190]

Is the actual splint portion something that can be reused each bandage change?

[@MeloCat]

It can be reused yes, but need yet to get you the right size at the beginning

[@natrodger5579]

Hi, what size splint is that ? Small or medium ? Thanks

[@MeloCat]

For her it's given from the vet, so I donno what size it is. I highly suggest you to get a vet to size it as opposed to sizing it yourself

[@komorebieh]

can a broken paw finger on a cat heal again?

[@MeloCat]

Yes with the proper treatment, so do go see a vet first

[@muhammadshadab8324]

where can i find the splint please help

[@MeloCat]

The vet needs to find the right size for kitty, I won't suggest guessing on your own

[@annar6430]

I think I will just take my cat to the vets for re dressing

[@23mukbang]

Same happens with my cat i m sorry god plz forgive me

[@bruhmah43]

What about a cat whose tibia is fractured, the vet bill is too much and I don't want to put my cat to sleep :(

[@MeloCat]

It's not something I can diagnose or suggest you to fix on your own. Please take them to a vet, it might cost less than you think.

[@bruhmah43]

@@MeloCat it costs $1,000

[@kyliewalker6647]

if you broke your arm or leg would you want PANADOL??????? what the FK is wrong with you? take your pet to ER! don't tell the vet you don't have $ until AFTER they have given some kind of pain relief. There is PETS MEDICAL CRISIS, they will help you pay for vet care in an emergency. They lent me $500 for a tooth extraction and it was dont the next day. They provide Australian pet owners financial assistance for operations and emergency care if you are unemployed.

[@memelc5655]

Need a cast ? Really ?

[@MeloCat]

It's a splint from the vet, not a cast

[@nofear2792]

I dont see a cat even walking with this stuff on it.

[@MeloCat]

They are not supposed to... not for that few weeks for sure
