My cat has a broken pelvis. Can she heal naturally or need surgery?

Question

I got a cat on street broke her pelvis, I wonder if she can heal on her own or we have to do the operation. With infection and anemia, still stay in hospital. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 11 months and 30 days old | 5 lbs

Poor girl. This is severe break and the pieces are not at all aligned. Unfortunately because the two bones are not aligned properly to heal back together naturally, this likely needs surgical correction. Poor kitty. : ( I recommend discussing with the vet about surgery for this poor kitty to help align the bones. I am not an orthopedic surgeon however, so a consult is needed to discuss if this particular break is repairable surgically or if there are other things that need to be done. Best wishes with your stray kitty Wen. Take care!
