In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You’ll need to seek prompt veterinary care if your kitten’s leg is broken. Veterinary care is the only way to confirm a broken leg. It also ensures that your kitten gets proper treatment to heal the leg. Let the vet know any symptoms your kitten has and how the injury occurred. For example, say, “Snowball has been limping for a couple of days. I’m not sure how she got hurt. She limps and holds her right leg up when she walks.” Answer any questions your vet may have about the injury or your kitten. Your vet will perform an examination of your kitten. This may include further testing such as X-rays. The exam and tests help the vet figure out exactly where the break is and develop the best treatment plan. Recognize that the vet may touch or press certain points of your kitten’s leg to feel if they’re swollen, sore, warm, or out of place. The vet may also place your kitten on the ground to see it walk. Your kitten may also undergo an X-ray or have an ultrasound or MRI to detect internal damage. Your vet will suggest a course of treatment for your kitten’s broken leg. The type of treatment will depend on the break’s severity and your kitten’s overall health. Follow any instructions your vet provides for the kitten’s treatment, including giving your kitten antibiotics. Your vet may consider treating your kitten with:  A cast or splint Surgery, especially if the surrounding tissue is damaged Amputation for very severe breaks Simple breaks in one spot on your kitten’s leg or breaks that haven’t torn tissue often require immobilization with a cast or splint. Most immobilization treatments take 4-6 weeks to heal.  Observe if the vet uses a rigid cast or more secure splint on your kitten’s leg. Casts are constructed with plaster and splints may be plastic, plaster or aluminum. Ask your vet if extra padding can make your kitten more comfortable. Put a sling around the leg for up to 10 days if your kitten’s vet prescribes it. This can keep your kitten from moving and walking. Avoid getting the cast or splint wet to allow the break to heal. Leave any casts or splints in place until the vet removes them. If your kitten has a very severe break, your vet may suggest surgery. This can stabilize the bone, joints, and surrounding tissues, which will help your kitten heal properly. In especially severe breaks, amputation may be necessary.  Authorize any recommended pre-surgical tests to make sure your kitten is healthy enough for surgery. Ask the vet what type of surgery is best for your kitten. It may be using pins, wires, or screws to stabilize the leg. It may also be amputation. Follow any post-operative instructions from the vet. This includes restricting activity for 2-4 weeks, a course of antibiotics or pain medication, and having pins and screws removed.
Summary: Visit the vet. Undergo an examination. Follow your vet’s treatment plan. Immobilize your kitten’s leg. Consider surgery.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you are taking care of a bedridden individual, make sure you move the body every two hours. You don't have to move him to another room or piece of furniture, but the position should be different enough that the same area of the body is not under pressure.  For example, turn the patient from the right side to the left. You can also use a pillow to prop him up. If you are stuck in bed yourself, you can invest in a trapeze bar and reposition yourself. This only works if you are physically strong enough to use such a device. If the patient has certain kinds of injuries, such as those to the spinal cord, make sure he is moved in such a way as to not cause more injury. One way that bed sores develop is through pressure on the skin due to sliding. The patient may lose traction when she is elevated, which causes the bedding and the skin to move in opposite directions. For example, the skin of the tailbone may stay in place while the body slides down the bed. The pressure on the skin can cause bed sores over time.  When lying down, make sure the bed is not elevated more than 30 degrees as to avoid sliding and friction. If the patient can sit all the way up, this will more than likely not occur. There are special mattresses on the market that can reduce the amount of pressure put on the body. This will help the patient avoid having any one area as a focus of pressure. You can also buy a air-filled or water filled mattress to help reduce the pressure on the patient's body. Look for these at a medical supply store so you can purchase a medical-grade mattress for this purpose.  If you are unsure on which to buy, ask your doctor for recommendations for the particular situation. You can also use a mattress pad or cushions to help protect the bony areas of the patient. Malnutrition can contribute to the development of bed sores. This can develop especially quickly in patient's who are unable to take sufficient calories orally and/or willingly. Make sure the patient eats balanced meals of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats. Make sure you check the dietary restriction of any patient you deal with. Each patient is assessed individually for his specific nutritional needs. To keep the skin of the patient healthy, make sure that she stays hydrated. If you are not sure how much water she should have, ask the doctor to advise you based on the patient's specific needs. Different illnesses and conditions require different hydration needs. You can also use juice to stay hydrated and keep up nutrition as well. Bed sores happen over a period of time. Early signs can include: non-blanching erythema or a purple or maroon localized area of discolored, intact skin, which may be painful, firm, mushy, boggy, or a different temperature than adjacent tissue. This indicates early stage of tissue damage or probable wound formation.
Summary:
Keep turning the body. Cut down on shear. Buy a special mattress. Provide proper nutrition. Stay hydrated. Identify early signs of bed sores.
