Kitty with Muscle Atrophy (recovering from broken limb)
My kitty broke her leg and was in a splint for the last 4 1//2 weeks or so. The splint was taken off this AM and the muscle has atrophied badly, to the point where she can't really control it at all. I am wondering if there is anything I can do to help speed up the healing process. First and foremost she needs to be reminded the limb is hers and is there to use but then also that it can take weight so that the muscle can continue to develop. also she is only 6 months old!
Have you ever thought about taking your cat swimming? I have heard this is a good way to get physical therapy for cats.
