Old leg injury
Recently we had a gorgeous cat brought in called Hugo. When Hugo came in the staff did a health check and noticed that his back left leg was causing him some discomfort.
He was seen by the Fiona our vet later that week and was sent to the vets for an x-ray. The x-ray showed that Hugo has in the past had an operation to remove the femoral head part of the joint on that leg. As a result of this what's left of the femur has started to corrode against his hip joint.
Hugo is now on a maintenance dose of Metacam, a pain relief medication for the time being. He can walk quite happily but with a limp. We are unsure yet on what the next step will be, so we will keep you updated on what happens next. But for now Hugo is getting lots of TLC and seems quite content.
