Hips displasia/arthritis - may be a time for the op....

Thanks Katy but it needs to be a cage.

Cats will nto be allowed to jump in with her, they could hurt her/she could snap at them.

Mine is a 54" cage, if you can get it picked up you are welcome to have it!

I've been thinking about you too!!

GR, would it not be worth getting a quote from a courier, must be cheaper than buying a new one. You could sell it on ebay after use and forward proceeds to Caroline.????

TBH not sure where Caroline is....
Just having some soup, half asleep on the keyboard...

Caroline? Where are you? Any idea how much would the courier cost?

SEnt you a PM....

Paddypows, thanks for the idea.. my brain is dead right now..

Caroline, got a friend 20 miles from you, may be able to pick up - will it fit in a landrover with seats folded? Any idea?

miss Zara here

I know she is in good hands but.... she is MY little girl, all 40kg of her

Caroline - thanks a million for your offer but turned out my daughter has already ordered the cage for Zara (and paid for it)... I woke up to million sms from her telling me not to order as she did....

She also wanted to get the chillow:

but looking at the size (36"x48") - she decided ir won't fit in the cage and sked me what to do - good she did not order one as it really would not fit in that cage either way.... sigh....

Thanks a million for all the good wishes everyone, I so hope my girl will be ok after all that...

George my cat is a different cat after his op....really different.. I wish I knew about FR then as his op was done locally and.. he is NOT walking as he should. I will be taking hm to FP when Zara is out of the cage.... sigh....

Just something I do not think I mentioned.....

While at FR we met a lady who flew herself anf her dog ( a 6 yo mixed breed) from... OMAN... specially to see Noel Fitzpatrick. She flew in yesterday evening with her dog and had appointment this morning.

That shows how good that particular surgeon is - it is not just UK wide... it is woeldwide...

I know Zara is in good hands but.. miss her and want her back at home

2.34 am....can not sleep...
sigh.....wish I was there wityh my baby girl

Noel Fitzpatrick who operated on Zara had a BBC series as Bionic Vet:

Morning GR (((hugs))) - know how empty the house feels when they're not here!

Didn't sleep much myself, worrying about Maisie's op today.......

I saw the programme about NF when it was on the TV - it truely is amazing what can be done.

Wishing your big soft lump of a girl a speedy recovery and she'll be home in no time (and a big Yay to your daughter ordering the cage)
