Thread: Broken Hip

Our 11 month old boy broke his left hip today at the growth plate. Rushed him into the vet and everything is still in place, which is good news but I can tell he's hurting. Brought him home with pain meds and orders to not let him run, jump or play rough with his brother. We go back in 2 weeks for review and more xrays. He's been sleeping and laying in his bed. Right now his brother is my problem. They cry for each other when they can't see each other. Danny's been jumping in my bed crying for past hour. Brought him in for a visit and he's calmed down a little. Bought a huge dog cage so he can be in the living room safely. Hate the thought of him locked away in my laundry room alone for hours on end. Has anybody had to deal with a broken hip and did your cat have to have surgery?
