There's a feral here with a hurt leg. She is feral though we have had contact with her since she was around three months old. (she is semi tame, would not make a house cat but accepts petting occasionally.) We saw her yesterday afternoon, all seemed okay. Then around 10 PM we come home and she's walking with a decided limp. At the joint, her back left leg is leaning to the right by about 7 degrees. She can use it to stabilize herself but won't walk on it. We put food and water out for her (we normally don't because several people in the neighborhood do.) We were able to take a look; there are no bite marks or anything, and it doesn't seem like it's broken. We don't know how it happened, though we saw a large dog not far away. I don't know if he caught her or she got hurt jumping down from a tree she used to escape, etc. Point is, is there anything we can do to stabilize the area? I think, if we were to see her again we might be able to wrap an Ace bandage or something similar around the area. She has never fought us. Or should we just continue feeding her until she's well enough to go to other areas in her territory?
Thanks.
Thanks.
