Poor Mac! It depends on what the vet finds when he or she examines Mac's leg. It could either be a soft tissue injury, a fracture, or a cat fight injury if Mac goes outside. If it's just a soft tissue injury then Mac will need a few days of rest and pain relief. If it's a fracture then it depends on where it's located as to what treatment is. If it's a cat fight injury then Mac will need pain relief and antibiotics, and may need to have the wound cleaned out under sedation.
