Luxating Patella in cats - operation

rising_from_the_ashes

Darn lost my post!

I guess mine was bigger than it needed to be as it was the one the vets had - however, glad it was as it did give her a wee bit of room to move around and we all know how fussy the wee "darlings" can be about having the tray too close to bed/food/water etc!

I found this re sizes for dogs

Depending on how big George is the small one should be fine

They have told me "medium" ... sigh.....

Just had a phone call from the orthopaedic vet who is going to operate on George - to tell me they taking my little ginger boy into operating theatre now

They are going to call me about 5-6 to let me know how it all went.

Fingers crossed all goes well, he is such a happy little cat, always wanting to be outside climbing trees, catching bees etc....Hope they get him sorted well and proper...

(((hugs))) the waiting is horrible, sure he'll be fine.

No climbing trees for a while tho:(

gettingready

Yup.. pity as this one arrived in my place yesterday:



VERY highly reccomended, only £40 and excellent quality:

On Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004ZELOGG/ref=s9_simh_gw_p199_d0_g199_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=04VFRJY77J18AK9M03X6&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467128533&pf_rd_i=468294

Teddy fits on this one, that says something - got this as a pressie for my cats... sigh... wish I knew earlier about George - would have asked for a crate

But a lady at the vets said she may be able to lend me one of her own, will let me know in the evening.. fingers crossed

That tree looks great - I got one the same as this http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/cats/scratching_posts/medium/15128 (but off E*bay) a few weeks ago and had to re-sell it as the sizes were wrong and it was too wide for the room (which I was well p'd off about:mad:).

I did get more for it than I paid for it tho' so all not lost.

Will need to hunt around for a replacement .....


Fingers crossed the vets come up trumps with the crate - thank god you got the insurance sorted for them all before this happened ......

I'm having a wee chuckle - usually struggle to get stuff online (apart from PAH who will leave without a signature) as not in during the day to sign for deliveries.

In the past week, while I've been off work, I've so far got stuff from PAH, Sea+pets and am waiting for something from Zoo+.

I may be bankrupt if I go on like this for the next 4 weeks!:eek:

Still, I've managed to get a 10kg bag of Royal Canin that they both eat for £39 (which should last around 6 months) and got 2 x 4kg bags that the boy eats for £28 (which should last about 8 months) so it'll work out cheaper in the long run!:D

Off to hunt Amazon for cat trees - I remember seeing some great ones on there but they all needed signature on delivery ..........

Frankly I was shocked at the quality of this tree - excellent for this price. Zooplyus similar are much more expensive.

Alll svelves are wide enough for even Teddy to manage to lie on them and very solid..

Excellent value for £40.

The same company (Cumfy Pets) have another tree too - with hanging bits etc in blue or brown, I did not even know Amazon sells those....

My one is second hand from Gumtree but in mint condition.. Only looked it up (by the brand tag) when I got it home.. thought the new one would be much more expensive to be honest, great bargain...

I wanted enough "shelves" for my 4 plus 2 of my daughter's (when they visit) and now possibly Lucy the little pregnant cat who is at my daughter's and her babies when they arrive.... sigh.... NO, I am not counting how many in total ....
