Hey,my cat twisted its leg long time ago,in 2014,about October.

Now it still did not heal.It sounds like it has twisted its leg.And it was turning.

I didn't know how to heal it but when yesterday night,it went to the vet.

I didn't know anything about it,and the leg was bleeding. In fact,the blood was so much that

I had to take it to the vet.Does anybody know how to help it?

If you took your cat to the Vet just yesterday, did they not tell you what do t help it?  If not, they should, and you should call them back and asks them.

Yes,I know.The vet told me to give it water.

Now because my cat's leg flesh has been cracked,I didn't know what to do until I had to lock

him in my bedroom for a few days.Water? How that will  help!

@kaykaytung please take your cat back to the vet.. perhaps another vet if this one is not so helpful?  It's pretty urgent to do this.

   These are very strange things for a vet to say.  What type of a vet are they?

The vet was in Hong Kong.And it did a proper checkup.

I don't know what was the matter.All the vet said was to wrap the cracked flesh with honey.

So it would stick together.

   OK.. that is something that people do for wounds, but it's usually a special kind of honey, and it's meant to be antibacterial (kill the bugs) and wound healing.  Did the vet give you a special type or just say any honey?  Have you any idea why it is cracked?

It's very hard to know how to help.  Are you giving us all the information the vet gave you? 

I lived in HongKong a very long time ago and there was an SPCA was very good then.  They seem to be very active now: http://www.spca.org.hk/   There are centres on the island and on Kowloon side and a mobile service if you're further away.  I really do think your cat needs to be seen properly.

 I'm not sure what you mean by a checkup, but if you mean you're going back to see how the treatment is going, that's good.

I really don't think we can help much, except to offer support.
