Hello

I am not having much luck with my 2 babies at the moment. Gizmo somehow managed to break his hip and he had an Operation today to remove the Hip Joint.

Has anyone got any experience with that ? He seems ok for now, and he is using the leg better than before the surgery, but it looks a bit swollen.

I have not had experience with hip surgery but I will keep Gizmo in my thoughts as your sweetie recovers.

Please let us know how things progress.

I'll have to ask my neighbor, her cat had hip surgery a couple years ago, he was only like 2 years old and now I cant quite remember why but I think it was something similar where they took out part of the joint. He is perfectly fine now and runs around and everything like normal.
