my name is cady and i live in concord, ca. i have two kittens, one i adopted and named blair, and the other one, paddington, i found two days after adopting the first. i found paddington when she was just opening her eyes, so i'm guessing she was about a week, way back in october.

this is paddington:


blair:


and this is the two of them cuddling:


i joined the forums because i have some questions about what i should ask when i talk to the vet about getting surgery for paddington. i noticed a few weeks ago she was limping so i took her to the vet, and it turns out her knee cap is out of place and she fractured her femur. the fracture has healed, but the knee needs to be fixed so she can walk normally again.

i'm going to make an appointment at UC DAVIS, but i have no idea what to ask the vet. i was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions?

W/ the best cats
Welcome!

Blair and Paddington are adorable.

Sorry to hear about Paddington's leg. I am sure you'll be able to ask the right questions once the vet starts explaining the procedure, the cost and the potential risks.

Welcome


how wonderful of you to take these two in
I am so sorry to hear about Paddingtons knee... poor fella... I have no doubt you will get lots of advise on your question, but it would be best to post it in the 'health' section of the forums so that our members with more knowledge will be able to help you

Good luck to Paddington and welcome again to you all
