Ok, I just wanted to let everyone here know Patu is doing a lot better. She walks with a less pronounced limp and she seems to be more relaxed.
She stretches her legs exceptionally every time she gets up! (a lot more than usual) She eats and drinks well. Also she sleeps less and plays more...
Hi,
After this message I called the previous surgeon and we met him around 11 p.m. We had a big discussion about her condition. Long story short he took the responsibility of doing any further action. His absolute decision was to remove the pin as soon as possible, letting her to be able to use...
Today I had these new x-rays taken from a well equipped educational hospital with Patu sedated. I consulted with two surgeons. Both mentioned considerable amount of infection present in soft tissue around right femur and tibia, and emphasized on the importance of removing the pin which should be...
Dear Geoffrey,
Thanks a lot for your sincere sharing of information and empathy. Patu and I appreciate your consulting with us.
I tried to compare both legs by observing and touching the legs and indeed the shaved leg doesn’t appear much thinner than the other one in my understanding. What...
I'd like to add that Patu has been a lot better apparently. Yesterday I let her out of her room for a while (I have to lock her in the room since she attempts to jump on heights in the house and also her littermate, Puree is too playful). She started running and playing with Puree, which made me...
Dear Geoffrey!
Thanks a lot for your helpful information. I appreciate taking your time and sharing your knowledge with me and my cat, who would send much trilling to you if possible!
Do you consider this amount of muscular atrophy unusual or a natural part of healing after surgery? Have you...
Thanks a lot sharing your experience with us. I am sure the lack of awareness about the details of the medical procedure and my lack of experience on this problem have upset me just as much, if not more, than the situation itself. I do agree with you, and what me worried sick was not only my cat...
Hello,
I live in Iran and facing the problem I'm writing about I need to make sure that what I've been told is a standard vet procedure. It would be very helpful to me and my cat’s life if you can give me any consultations and pieces of advice. I’d really appreciate your time and help. Here’s...
I once had this problem with an outdoor kitten who was sick and had to be taken care of. Well here is my experience, with a tissue I would clean the surface so it smells like the pee and put the tissue inside the little box a bit under the litters. Then I cleaned the surface (a rug) she used to...
Hello!
The good news is that after two weeks they finally got along. Though the situation seems to be not totally ok since after a while the game turns into a fight. The older kittens gets really excited and bites the little one, Poothmar. Poothmar wants to escape and he starts screaming...
Thanks for the information! Well my vet said 4 months is ok. Here in Iran they spay and neuter kittens usually after 4 months and even most people think the kittens should be at least 7 or 8 months old to have them spayed.
I am not well experienced with kittens, but I think you're right, he...
Hi KiraTheCat
Thanks for your accurate and helpful reply =) You are right about Thoothmar being scared when she hisses. Well generally she's kind of a cat that hisses a lot. Even when she's playing, I find it a bit odd.
1. side swapping seems like a great idea. Yes I keep the boy in my...
