richard-
i apologize if this is awkward, but - i googled :cat with dislocated pelvis: - and your cat, aspen and his incident appeared in my window.
by reading the date on your blog entry, i know that his accident was a while ago; but i was hoping to get an update - as to his long term recovery. can you offer up any new-news?
my cat :temporary jones: just returned from a “missing” status to a “found and injured” status of 8 days. she was diagnosed at the vet today as having a dislocated pelvis.
i thought since you and aspen have been though this, you might be able to offer some assistance, guidance or anything you may deem useful.
Aspen recovered really well. After about a month locked in a cage, which wasn’t much fun, he was let out and he slowly recovered. He’d always been a little clumsy, and not as agile as Pixel (his smaller sister), but he now climbs trees, jumps over walls, and gets in as much trouble as before. I wouldn’t know that he had the accident.
I’m guessing that the vet has offered to do surgery. I’d take them up on it. From what our vet said, they’d put a dog down in the same situation because they’d never recover properly, but cats handle it well. That’s definately the case with Aspen. Cost a lot, but he’s still about and that matters.

How many drinks does $65 get you?
Yes, well picked up Susie.
We started with over $800
For just you or the whole gang I’m hoping? LOL
If it were for just me, I wouldn’t have that smile on my face, I’d be in the gutter.
