Fracture
There are two types of fractures - simple, when there is no visible break in the skin, and compound, when a bone protrudes from a wound.

A fractured tooth in cats most commonly occurs in one of the long canine teeth, but other teeth in the mouth can fracture too. Due to the fact that a cat's mouth is so small, it is hard to visually see anything wrong with the teeth themselves.

---another possible cause is pain because of a fractured hip or pelvis (caused by a road traffic accident, for example). A narrowing of the pelvic canal due to the healing process after an accident can cause constipation.

Physical therapy may be recommended for patients recovering from fractures, orthopedic surgery (including cranial cruciate ligament repair, total hip replacement, or spinal surgery), and neurologic events (such as spinal injury).
