pet’s age: 8 months
pet’s sex: female

previous treatment:

My cat broke it’s tail. The break is halfway down and the x-rays showed a
separation of 2 inches. The vet gave medicine for 3 days, anti-inflammatory and
pain in a syringe so I can not give you the name or the dosage. They had to use

anesthesia to examine her because she was in so much pan, So far, there seems to
be no bathroom issues. The vet sent her home and said, let’s see how she
does in a month, we may have to amputate her tail at the break.

QUESTION:

The cat is in extreme pain, although she is walking around and
jumping, she
screams out because her tail is dragging, Do you think 3 days of pain
medication is enough?
Since the break is halfway down the tail, and separated by 2 inches, is there
any way it can be fixed? Will the muscles around the break heal enabling some

usage or should it be amputated at the break enabling the cat to at least raise
her tail and get back some mobility? What is the downside of amputation? What is
the downside of just waiting to she how she does in a month?
