Title: feline owners needed for questionnaire for my dissertation please!
Post by: htheobald on December 17, 2015, 17:26:07 PM

Hi my name is Hayley and I am in my 4th year of Bachelor of Science with Honours Degree in Veterinary Nursing and Applied Animal Behaviour. I am looking for owners that have healthy felines aged between 1-6years (any felines with any other conditions other than osteoarthritis are welcome) and felines diagnosed with osteoarthritis for my survey. I am aiming to create a feline chronic pain score as there is no currently scoring system out there!!!
i have attached the participant information sheet and the survey URL is

https://eSurv.org?u=Felinesurvey  (https://eSurv.org?u=Felinesurvey)

thank you for taking the time to read this

Hayley

Hello Hayley :)

I think you need to fix the url in your post.  I've completed the survey for one of my three - hope you find it useful.  Good luck with your research.

Please change URL!

Have done two one for my young healthy birman and realized that the answers would be totally different fot my big boy Misa who earlier in year could not walk, use litter tray and it took full bank of tests and xrays to find out cause.

I have had him since 4yrs old from CP and he has always walked wih very small steps for a big cat and thinking back it is a strange walk and now know he has a pin from hip to knee in rt back leg and arthritis badly in that leg, at bottom of spine and top of tail and starting in other back leg.........was a complete shock to me and vet but its thought he was in a road accident before this age.

I havent done one for one of my late cats who also had it and had lost a leg again before I got him.

But if you need another one let me know.

I think its sorted now! im not the most computer literate hehe well i hope it is! and if one of your cats is also arthritic you are more than welcome to fill it in again as i am struggling to find arthritic cats because its not diagnosed very often! which is one of the reasons for this dissertation topic!

Thank you for filling it out! x
