How do I care for my cat with a broken pelvis after discharge?

Question

Allie can pee now. He also eats and drinks very well. The vet said he can be discharged tomorrow. But I just want to ask any suggestions about taking care of a cat with a broken pelvis? The vet said no interbal organs and functions were harmed except for the bone part. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 10 months old | 5.5 lbs

I'm so glad Allie can pee now and can be discharged tomorrow! He will need to rest to heal his broken pelvis. This means confinement to a crate or a small room to limit his movement at all times. No going outside, no playing, no running, no jumping. Make sure the crate is big enough for a bed, litter box, food, and water. He will need to be on strict cage rest for at least six weeks. Not following this could damage his pelvic healing and potentially cause problems with his bladder again. I hope this helps.
