Gabby

Case Submitted by:
Ann L. Johnson DVM, MS, Diplomate ACVS

"Gabby" is a 2 .5 year old intact male cat. He was found with a non-weight bearing lameness of the right rear limb. There is a palpable fracture of the right femur. Although this is a barn cat, the owners really like him and are willing to do anything necessary, including keeping him in the house, to treat the fracture.

Radiographs of the right femur and pelvis were made.
         

A spiral CT with reconstructed images was used to further define the fractures.
