Ok, I'll though mine question in too.

How's Figaro?

Just so you know we are all really interested.

Thank you all for asking. As of Monday when he returned back to the vet, his hip was again dislocated, but the vet is not concerned about it. He said that there are many cats that live perfectly normal lives with dislocated hip.

Figaro is walking again, going to the bathroom very well, and getting back to being his normal self. We are still concerned because his appetite has not come back, he dropped 6 lbs in 2 weeks. I pretty sure that the medication they have him on for pain is what is causing the lack of appetite.

The vet said that Figaro can once again go outside on the porch for a short period of time but we should still try to limit his activities....that is easier said than done.

Thanks again for asking about him. I will be sure to give him hugs and kisses from his PT family. --- Meg

Wow - that's a lot of weight for 1 little kitty to lose! I hope Figaro isn't too skinny now.

Do you have to put his hip back in place each time it dislocates, or can he just walk around like that?

Hugs and kisses to Figaro!
