I have a 4 mo kitten that has a traumatic posterior hip dislocation (in addition to transphyseal fracture) and am wondering about the results of non-operative treatment vs femoralheadostectomy
Would appreciate reference to any literature discussing outcomes of both options
FemoralHeadOstectomy (FHO) in Cats | VCA Animal Hospital
It is more common in dogs and the surgery is usually successful. I would proceed with whatever consultations you need to see if you can restore your little boy to good health and mobility.
On the show, Dr. Jeff, Rocky Mountain Vet, it...
If it’s of any help, one of my cats had the femoralheadostectomy 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...
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...
...is an option.
If he had the surgery I think he did then he definitely needs pain meds. Did he have something called a FemoralHeadOstectomy, 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...
...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 (FemoralHeadOstectomy) 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. Then a few weeks later the garbage truck...
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...
...where they will assess him and give him whatever procedure is required for a reasonable price.
After your mention of the FemoralHeadOstectomy cprcheetah, I researched it and feel that this may be his best shot at a return to normal life and the procedure seems to be quite routine with...
Well the link to the Blog had to be removed however, you can find it by typing into the Google search: FHO surgery in cats
Our Bentley's FHO (FemoralHeadOstectomy) experience ....is the one!
Our newest kitty, Jupiter, just had femoralheadostectomy yesterday and came home this morning. He and his mom and siblings were strays that my sister-in-law has been feeding and before we could get them in Jupiter was hit by a van. Everyone has been caught and the 3 other kittens are at the...
one of mine had one 5 weeks ago after being hit by a car. i was freaked out at the thought of him having his femoralhead cut off. i googled it and found a blog with lots of stories that eased my mind (am i allowed to post it?)

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...
...about to pounce on his fur-brother...and so obviously, it was worth every penny for them.
So Milo will have the bilateral femoralheadostectomy 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...
...as simple as a jump off the couch.
I just got home about an hour ago with Milo (who is on post op day one from a bilateral femoralheadostectomy). Our story is that last Saturday morning, we woke up around 8:30....when Milo heard my husband moving around in the kitchen, he woke up too, and...
...did not develop correctly when he was a kitten (perhaps as a result of being neutered early). He needs a $1600 surgery called femoralheadostectomy. The good news is that they believe after recoverying from the procedure the vet thinks he will be able to live a happy, pain-free life. Has...
