If a cat is dislocated, you cannot press it back with your hands. When the owner does not know why the cat is dislocated, he cannot press the cat's hands or legs back at will, otherwise it will dislocate the cat's bones and aggravate the cat's condition. After a cat dislocates, it is recommended that the owner send the cat to a pet hospital for treatment in a timely manner, and avoid injuring the injured part of the cat during the transfer process to avoid secondary injuries. ​​​​​​

The first diagnostic method is to determine the location of the cat’s dislocation by observing the cat’s dislocation, joint deformation, and inactivity through vision and palpation.

Second, for sick cats with no obvious symptoms, differential diagnosis needs to be made with fractures, muscle paralysis, sprains or contusions. In particular, fractures need to be confirmed by a doctor before symptomatic treatment can be carried out.

Third, since dislocation is often accompanied by fracture, X-ray examination should be performed when a fracture is suspected. This examination is particularly necessary to identify intra-articular fractures and traumatic bony dissections.

Reset method The specific reset technique should depend on the specific location of the cat. The common method is to let the cat lie on its side with the affected limb on the upper side, and use traction, pressing, internal rotation, abduction, bending and other methods to restore the joint. When positioned correctly, vibrations can be felt and sounds heard in the hand. To prevent recurrence, external fixation should be performed promptly and the cat’s activities should be appropriately restricted.
