In which case

Hi. Please tell me what the underlined phrase functions as. Could it be a conjunction? Could a phrase be a conjunction?

It is known to me that it fell, in which case it needs to be taken to a vet.

The sentence is very awkward in my opinion. Which is a relative pronoun. The underlined phrase refers to the "that" clause.
