    Zoe is doing well one week after surgery!

    Thank you so much! We have been giving Zoe a little more freedom every day. Last night, we closed the bedroom door and let her roam the bedroom for the night while we slept. She spent the night curled up between me and my girlfriend. Sooooo cute!! She gets her stitches taken out on...

    Lion Cut for Zoe (recently had surgery)

    LOL - Her fur looks much better now. She had quite the ride. Before she the surgery, she was constipated so she had an enema. That plus being in a sling, etc made her a little nappy. We started brushing her again a few days after the surgery.

    This is an older one to see what she looked like before surgery. These are the day after surgery.

    Lion Cut for Zoe (recently had surgery)

    Yeah, exactly. I didn't think about it at the time. LOL It was the last thing on my mind. I only really started seriously considering it after seeing her jacked up haircut. LOL If they need to sedate her for it, I highly doubt I will do it exactly for the reasons you stated. She's had...

    Zoe is doing well one week after surgery!

    Thank you Strange Wings! You've been so helpful during all of this. My girlfriend and I are thinking about getting her a lion cut after a few weeks so that her fur grows out evenly and she can get a break from coughing up hairballs.

    Lion Cut for Zoe (recently had surgery)

    My lil girl just had surgery last week and she has a half shaved butt and shaved spots on her front paws for the IV. My girlfriend and I have always wanted to get her a lion cut because she is so furry and loves to groom herself and coughs up hairballs. Do you think if we waiting 3 weeks after...

    Zoe is doing well one week after surgery!

    I posted a few weeks ago about my girl Zoe having a hip injury. She had surgery last Monday and is doing amazing. She had an FHO procedure performed. It wasn't the first option I wanted but when the surgeon got in there, the ball of the femur was fractured. There was no chance of saving...

    Dislocated hip :( Need help & ideas to discourage jumping

    I just took Zoe in to see the surgeon. I think she will be taken care of really well. I actually feel relieved with everything after talking to the surgeon. Zoe will be better after this! I will get a call after the surgery is done and I can pick her up tomorrow.

    Dislocated hip :( Need help & ideas to discourage jumping

    I looked into the two orthopedic places my vet recommended and decided to go with one of them. Both of them are pretty expensive. I'm trying to avoid Zoe having an FHO performed and want her to have the open hip reduction surgery. It is more expensive, but I shudder at the thought of just...

    Dislocated hip :( Need help & ideas to discourage jumping

    I took Zoe to the vet this morning and her hip is dislocated again. Zoe will need surgery. My vet gave me 2 recommendations for an orthopedic surgeon. I hate that my lil' girl will have to go through this. I can't imagine how much this will cost too. Now I need to research...

    Femoral Head Ostectomy or FHO

    Hi, I posted a thread about my kitty, Zoe, who had a dislocated hip (http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=214281). I hope Zoe doesn't need any surgery at all, but in case she does, I was curious how your kitty has made out since the surgery. Thanks!

    Dislocated hip :( Need help & ideas to discourage jumping

    Thank you blueyedgirl! Zoe seems to be doing ok. She's anxious to get out of the dog crate. She has been very accepting of the attention she has been getting. For her, this is unusual in a way. She typically only likes to be pet on her terms in certain places in the house. She has a box...

    Dislocated hip :( Need help & ideas to discourage jumping

    That's a good idea with the harness and clothes. My girlfriend and I have bought costumes for Christmas and Halloween for the kitties. They do act weird when they wear it so we only leave it on long enough to get pictures. lol I will try that with her. Every little bit helps in my opinion...

    Dislocated hip :( Need help & ideas to discourage jumping

    Thank you little raven! I went to Petsmart after picking Zoe up from the vet and got her a 30" dog crate. She wasn't too happy about being in there at first, but she is doing ok now. My girlfriend and I have been giving her attention and she even purred some tonight. She hasn't eaten or...

    Dislocated hip :( Need help & ideas to discourage jumping

    Hi all, I rushed my 3 year old girl, Zoe, to the vet this morning. She came out from under my bed crying and hobbling. She was favoring her left rear leg. I think she hurt her leg and hid under the bed. I have no idea how she did it. She was fine early this morning when my girlfriend left for...
