Good luck with the vet.

Hi Pav,

not updated thread as not had a lot to say really as she has been on cage rest for so long and just been content eating, sleeping and sleeping some more bless her

She is due in this week for a review with the vets at which time we will know how things stand for her. Certainly from what we can see the hip is still most definately out its just whether or not it has formed a false joint, of which I can't say I'm convinced it has but once she sees the vet we will know more.

will update as soon as we know more

Janeyk · « **Reply #111 on:** February 05, 2009, 10:49:21 AM »

lovely pics

glad she's keeping all cosied up in her new bed

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #110 on:** February 05, 2009, 10:42:49 AM »

Just to say that Storm is still much the same, albeit her new bed has turned her into a right lazy bones as she loves it that much she never comes out of it.

Been busy with the camera this morning so here are some more piccies of the gorgeous storm for you all!

Liz · « **Reply #109 on:** February 02, 2009, 19:46:24 PM »

Our Storm is sending get well vibes from all here and hope that she does improve if not just more time on cage rest!

Our longest on cage rest to date is Puma - he cost £1500 + to rebuild at 14 months and had 11 weeks in a kitten pen his Daddy lined with perspex to stop his fixator castching on anything - have to say Robin took the large bill very well but was severely hacked off at the price of the perspex and the fact it was minus 7 when he was cutting the stuff to fit and bolting out the kitten pen!!!!

Beanie · « **Reply #108 on:** February 02, 2009, 19:30:45 PM »

Strong positive vibes from me as well.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #107 on:** February 02, 2009, 18:29:10 PM »

Sending lots of healing wishes......

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #106 on:** February 02, 2009, 18:13:54 PM »

hi guys,

much the same I'm afraid. from what we can see its definately still 'out' and most of the time she is comfortable and it doesnt bother her too much although she is having the odd time where it is painful and causing her pain when she moves, letting out a lovely growl so we know, bless her

All we can do is sit and wait and see what happens over the next few weeks.

bonnielass · « **Reply #105 on:** February 02, 2009, 08:12:45 AM »

Just wondering how Storm

is going on, does she show any signs of improvement ?

Jasmine · « **Reply #104 on:** January 29, 2009, 19:26:00 PM »

So pleased she seems to be making progress Sarah.

She really is a beautiful girl!

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #103 on:** January 29, 2009, 16:55:10 PM »

aww thanks Liz... and yes it is a shame we're just slightly too far apart isn't it!
always the way!

Liz · « **Reply #102 on:** January 29, 2009, 15:13:41 PM »

Sarah Miss Storm is a beautidul lady and if we werecloser she could have her R & R here, I so miss fostering and its a shame as Hubby's company pay us an hourly rate for fostering!

I will dig out a piccie our Storm one where she is acting like a lady not a floozy!!!!!

Janeyk · « **Reply #101 on:** January 29, 2009, 13:17:32 PM »

awwww,

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #100 on:** January 29, 2009, 12:58:00 PM »

she is gorgeous isn't she?

She is currently enjoying the luxury of a brand new cat bed that was very kindly brought in yesterday. Enjoying it so much in fact that she hardly comes out of it other than to use her litter box!!! wee tike.

Her nature is truly fantastic and I think whoever ends up taking her home with them is a very lucky person indeed.

No real change in the leg thus far an she continues to try to put some weight through it which I take as a good sign however she does have a big of a problem swinging it round to lay down. But she is managing very well and it certainly isn't affecting her appetite for food or cuddles! lol

Sonnie · « **Reply #99 on:** January 29, 2009, 11:08:22 AM »

AWWWWWWWWW look at that lil face!!!!
Shes a dear little thing.

clarenmax · « **Reply #98 on:** January 29, 2009, 08:47:19 AM »

She's such a pretty girl

Glad she's back with you, agree that the home environment will surely help her, and fingers crossed that her hip settles without the need to operate

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #97 on:** January 28, 2009, 18:42:23 PM »

Oh, Lord bless her - she's a little beauty. And what strength of character. Sending a special Paddy PPPPprrfffppTT just for Storm.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #96 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:54:30 AM »

She is lovely, fingers crossed the cage rest works for her.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #95 on:** January 27, 2009, 23:44:44 PM »

Stunning.

Glad she's getting better.

Janeyk · « **Reply #94 on:** January 27, 2009, 23:24:59 PM »

She is just gorgeous

and yes I can see the hip poor girl what she has been through please give her a gentle cuddle from me xx

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #93 on:** January 27, 2009, 22:53:42 PM »

her picture certainly speaks a thousand words as she really is very sweet. My OH is already smitten with her.

Although we just noticed that if you look at the picture I posted closely you can actually see the distortion in the hip area where the hip is 'out'

she still has a long way to go by any means but at least for now she is safe and by the sounds of her purrs she is content and happy to be back in her little space at the 'harbour'

pappilon · « **Reply #92 on:** January 27, 2009, 21:54:55 PM »

Aww bless her

She looks so sweet.

bonnielass · « **Reply #91 on:** January 27, 2009, 21:50:18 PM »

I always said i would stop at 8 but that little face

she is just so adorable, you feel as tho you could just scoop her up and love her.Im glad she is back with you and look forward to updates on her progress

LesleyW · « **Reply #90 on:** January 27, 2009, 21:43:51 PM »

She is gorgeous Sarah, such a lovely face. Glad she is back home and hoping that the rest does the necessary and helps her leg.

Mark · « **Reply #89 on:** January 27, 2009, 21:28:58 PM »

She's a lovely girl - so glad she is on the mend. Hopefully some lucky people will be taking her home soon

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #88 on:** January 27, 2009, 21:24:28 PM »

here you go guys a little piccie to keep you going for now!

isn't she gorgeous?

and her nature is fantastic too.

I've only taken the 1 piccie for now as every time you go near the pen she is adamant she is coming over for big cuddles so makes it very difficult to photograph her at the same time!!!

She is doing well and settling back into her pen brilliantly. As soon as she could smell the familiar scent from her bedding she settled down for a kip right away, well not after ensuring she received plenty of cuddles and affection first!!!

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #87 on:** January 27, 2009, 18:35:03 PM »

So pleased she's been allowed home. Sometimes, giving a cat time to recover and to heal can work miracles. Would be so nice to have some piccies of Storm.

madkittyrescue · « **Reply #86 on:** January 27, 2009, 17:11:59 PM »

well, little miss storm has come home with us today!

She is currently resting peacefully, has eaten and getting settled into her old pen again.

Decision was made today to give Storm 4 weeks of recuperation to see how she fares and then re-assess the situation of the hip. Vets hope is that it will form a false joint, which she should manage with fine although in old age would be prone to arthritis. Alternatively we are looking at the surgery.

In summary we are in no rush to force Storm into any form of outcome simply because its 'easier' so we have all decided the best thing to do is to give her time and see how she manages on strict cage rest for the next 4 weeks. At that time we can make a decision regarding the best route for her.

It is obvious on looking at her that the hip 'is not right' but she is trying to use the leg and is putting a little weight through it at present although it is obviously still bothering her.

We are letting her settle for now but will try and get some piccies of the little one later on tonight for you all. Her general condition has improved greatly since she arrived and she is showing how simply gorgeous she really is

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #85 on:** January 27, 2009, 08:16:52 AM »

fingers crossed for her, whatever the vet says is the best thing to do

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #84 on:** January 27, 2009, 07:14:10 AM »

Poor little lass. It sounds as if your vets will do what's best for Storm regardless, and that has to be some comfort. Let's hope that if she does need the op, it'll be 100% successful.

Beanie · « **Reply #83 on:** January 26, 2009, 22:46:15 PM »

Just caught up with this thread and will include Storm in my prayers. You are a pair of fighters and I would be exactly the same.

Praying for as perfect a recovery as possible.

Baggy · « **Reply #82 on:** January 26, 2009, 21:59:49 PM »

Ouch, poor little one. Sounds like the vets are really doing their best to consider the options.

bonnielass · « **Reply #81 on:** January 26, 2009, 14:55:26 PM »

Oh dear thats not good news but if she is adapting to this maybe time and rest will help this false joint to materialise and save her having to have the op, but if it does form is there a risk it could go again at a later date ? and if it does what are her options then will they still be able to operate?
