Hey guys,
Unfortunately another one of our cats needs emergency surgery for bilateral slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) which pretty much means both of his hips are fractured. This happens in larger breed cats (he is part Maine Coon) and is atraumatic and evidently random.
He is in extreme pain and needs to be taken care of 24/7 currently and will need a double hip replacement with a lengthy recovery. This surgery will likely run around $10,000-$12,000 but we will not accept any other option for our fur baby.
We had taken him to the vet where they did x-rays (after we insisted) and told us he had no broken bones, but after taking him to the emergency vet after he continually worsened he was diagnosed with bilateral SCFE.
This isn’t something he can heal on his own, nor can he currently walk on his own so we will be finding him an orthopedic surgeon urgently.
We’ve appreciated all of you who donated to our baby Samson, who fortunately has had a great recovery and is doing amazingly now and just celebrated his first birthday!
Anything will help our sweet Malachi and would be more than appreciated. You all have always been so kind to us to help them.
If you’ve had any experience with this or have surgeon recommendations it would be insanely appreciated.
