Can a cat’s tail fracture heal on its own?

A cat’s tail fracture usually cannot heal on its own, so it is best to take it to the hospital for treatment. If left unchecked, the cat may suffer frequent stress due to pain and eventually lead to other physical problems. The cat's tail has many functions. We should not handle it casually, let alone dock it, as this may endanger its life.

Tip:

Cats’ self-healing ability is limited. Only a few minor diseases can be cured by themselves, but most diseases cannot be cured by themselves.
