feline hip surgery
Hi,
After coming home last night we found our cat limping. We took her to an after hours emergency clinic. The vet who examined her showed us that she had a femoral head fracture. They do not perform the operation there and could not answer some of my questions. I will be calling local vet office tomorrow to arrange for treatment, but I was curious as to whether anyone could tell me if their cat had been through this type of injury, recovery time and quality, and cost of surgery. Thanks all! Jay |

to an after hours emergency clinic I'm afraid I don't know anything about it but I hope your kitty is okay. Let us know what happens. Was she outside when this occurred? How old is she?

Thanks all! Jay I had an Orange Tiger, George, who got hit by a car when he was twelve and broke his hip. They basically removed the ball from his ball and socket joint. He was supposed to be in a cast (or restraint) for nearly a month. About a week later I couldn't find him. Looked for hours. Gave up and went out for a while, when I got back he was lying on the bed, but his cast was nowhere to be found. (I later found it in a crawl space) I immediately took George to the vet. The vet was so impressed with his progress he didn't even bother replacing the cast. George recovered great. He slowed down a little but he was twelve when it happened. He lived to the ripe old age of 17. Not bad for an outdoor cat. His eating, sleeping and bathroom habits were the same after the accident. I don't remeber the cost but it was around 20 years ago. Good luck to your Kitty! Carl in CT PS. Curse you for making me remeber George! Forgot how great he was! Is this what made you pay to mutilate your three perfect and perfectly beautiful kittens last week, scumbag? |
