hi all vet expert,

I have my cat which was missing for few days and then now i found him back but with his back leg limping.
we have done an x-ray and attached.



i have ask the doctor and the doctor told me that she needs to perform surgery whereby she will destroy that bone socket which got dislocated and let the muscle/ligaments to get hold of the rest of the bone.
furthermore, after the surgery, the cat needs to perform physio for couple of months to let the cat walk back as normal. even so, there is no guarantee that the cat can walk back as normal.

So.. what that doctor says is it true? Are there any other better solutions? I just want the best and less painful solution for my cat. Thanks.

Think your best bet is to got to another vet and get a second opinion. Unless there's a Veterinarian here, the common cat lover won't be able to tell much.
