Abbie

Osteoporosis

A few weeks ago a cat came into our centre as a stray from Ryde, we called her Abbie. After a few days we began to notice that she seemed rather uncomfortable on her back legs. She saw the vet and it was decided that an x-ray was needed to find out what the problem was. 

We soon found out that Abbie had Osteoporosis a disease of the bones that leads to an increased risk of fracture. Abbie is now having a good quality diet and regular exercise. She seems none the worse for it and is quite a happy little cat. For the time being she is still under veterinary care and is not quite ready to go up for adoption. 

This photo was taken of Abbie last week, she would simply not stay still, a pleasant surprise for a cat with weak bones! So apologies for the poor image! We will continue to keep you updated on how she is doing.
