An update to this http://67.15.70.205/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=74910 over in cat health.
Just got off the phone with MSU. Grady came through the surgery with flying colors.
They inserted an interlocking nail, so he has only two small incisions – not one long one. This same type of nail is used in humans, also. I even found an article mentioning the use in a turkey!!
They gave Grady an epidural post-op, so he will have good pain relief for several hours.
The med student will call me again this evening. And tomorrow they will decide when Grady can come home.
I will take pictures once he gets home – doesn’t appear that he will have a cast on, though.
