Smudge is a young cat who came to see us when he hurt one of his back legs. His owners had noticed that he was limping at home and when we felt Smudge’s leg we suspected it might be broken as his bones didn’t feel very stable. We x-rayed his leg and we could see that he had broken 3 bones in his lower leg. We sent his x-rays off to a specialist orthopaedic surgeon who thought that we needed to put pins into Smudge’s broken bones to support them enough to heal.
