Abstract
An intact male 2.5 kg 1 years old Domestic Long Hair (DLH) cat was brought to the University Veterinary Clinic Universiti Malaysia Kelantan with the complaint of inability to stand and inappetence since it was hit by a car a day before presentation. Physical examination and radiography revealed multiple fractures including fracture of the pubis fracture of the left ischium and fracture of the right femoral neck. There was also a left sacroiliac fracture-luxation. The cat was stabilized with intravenous fluid using normal saline analgesic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and antibiotic drugs. The sacroiliac fracture-luxation was repaired using a lag screw. The surgical site developed swelling due to seroma formation post operatively where a drainage tube was placed which necessitated daily wound cleaning and dressing. The cat was able to ambulate with satisfactory weight bearing of the hind limbs at 10 days post-surgery and four weeks later the cat demonstrated improvement in gait. At 5-months post-surgery the cat was completely back to its normal gait and ambulation normally.
