As the saying goes, "cats are not small dogs." Throughout veterinary medicine history, most of the literature focus has been on the canine. Feline patients, however, now constitute a larger proportion of the pet population and are unique in many aspects. They differ anatomically and biomechanically from canines and have specific recovery needs and different pain-related behaviors. It is important that veterinary surgeons understand these differences and improve their knowledge base in the treatment of cats. This article highlights the differences in cats relevant to minimally invasive fracture repair and how they affect a surgeon's approach to fractures in cats.

猫的微创骨折修复的独特差异。

俗话说，“猫不是小狗”。在整个兽医学史上，大多数文献重点放在犬科动物上。但是，猫科动物患者现在占宠物总数的比例更大，并且在许多方面都是独一无二的。它们在解剖学和生物力学上与犬类不同，并且具有特定的恢复需求和与疼痛相关的不同行为。兽医必须了解这些差异并提高其在猫科治疗中的知识基础，这一点很重要。本文重点介绍了与微创骨折修复相关的猫的差异，以及它们如何影响外科医生处理猫的骨折的方法。
