The vet said today the kitty would need cortisone shots the rest of her life. I've heard they aren't safe. Anyway, the vet said to give the kitty up to two months to get better or maybe some tissue will develop to help the cat or something. She said it is traumatic subluxation of hip. FHO would later on be a possibility and then she said some vets would do the surgery now and not wait a couple of months to see how the kitty is. Is waiting cruel to the cat or is this a wait and see problem? Honeybunny is only walking a foot or so before she lays down, I am carrying her to the litter box. Her back leg is bad. The vet said it might be better in a week from the cortisone. I do have another vet I use who could give me a second opinion. He was going to do the hip dysp. surgery on my dog if she started having trouble. He would probally operate quicker than the other vet. What do you think? Will giving the cat (10 mos or so old) a couple of months be making her suffer or ??? Thanks. Donna

If HoneyBunny were mine, I would get the second opinion.
Poor Honeybunny.
