My cat came back home with blood on his leg. It looks like a wound and he did not walk normally. He did not want to eat and only sleep. It is possible that his leg is broken?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is not possible to know this just based on this picture. However, with a history of possible trauma and the presence of blood then a fracture is possible. Just based on the presence of blood and the possibility of a fracture, I would highly recommend you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check what seems to be the issue so that it can be treated accordingly. Good luck!

I am pretty sure I can see a fracture of the tibia. If you look closely at the third picture and compare the two legs, the long bone right above the foot does not look the same as the other leg. These fractures can usually be healed with splinting or surgery, cage confinement, and pain management.
