    If it’s of any help, one of my cats had the femoral head ostectomy after fracturing his hip around the age of 1 1/2. He did not need to recover in a cage, he recovered in a small room with nothing he could jump up on. They sent him home with painkillers for several days to be more comfortable...

    Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease - Just Diagnosed.

    Thanks so much for the encouragement. I've had cats my entire life and I have never come across this. He is taking his medicine like a champ and the vet is supposed to get back to me within a few days after she consults with the specialists. I just love him so much. I've had cats my entire life...

    I'm Not Sure What Happened To My Cat!

    ...is an option. If he had the surgery I think he did then he definitely needs pain meds. Did he have something called a Femoral Head Ostectomy, or FHO? Also, I had surgery in March to repair the bones of my wrist; trust me - I needed pain meds after, and I was in a cast. Many years ago I had...

    Anyone Have Experience With A Cat That Had Fho Surgery?

    ...there is very little out there about double FHO. The only thing I was able to find about that is this blog: Bentley’s FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) experience, and it appears that Bentley had the two hips done in separate surgeries, which reduces the match. What I found about FHO sounds...

    My two year old male rag doll simamese cat had an FHO on both sides, 3 weeks apart. The first time, he was just sore, not jumping or running so I took him in and we had the first one done, it was healing nicely and he started to return to his old self.

    6 month old kitten, femoral head ostectomy and the future

    My kitten Gray Man recently had this surgery (woke up to him in pain, no idea how he completely fractured his femoral neck). His vet is great, but didn't give me many answers to my long term surgical follow-up questions. Basically, if anyone here has had a cat require this surgery, a while...

    Femoral Head Ostectomy or FHO

    Has anyone ever had one of these done? I have done a lot of reading on the subject and may have (read most likely will have to have) one of my cats have one. Let me back up a little bit, and I apologize beforehand if I get long-winded. Around the first of the year, we noticed Kenna, our (we...

    Please help: my cat has bilateral femoral neck fractures

    ...about to pounce on his fur-brother...and so obviously, it was worth every penny for them. So Milo will have the bilateral femoral head ostectomy procedure, I've decided. As it turns out, for cats and small dogs, the FHO procedure is just about as good as the total hip replacement, and a...
