Handsome Maxim is a 1 year old Maine C**n kitty who came to see us when he was struggling to walk, and was diagnosed with bilateral Salter-Harris fractures. These are fractures that occur in the growth plate, and in Maxim’s case they happened in the growth plates at the top of both of his femurs. Maxim had a Femoral Head and Neck Ostectomy on the left side, where he was most painful. Since surgery Maxim has recovered incredibly well and is quickly becoming his playful and energetic self again!
Cats are especially good at hiding pain, but thanks to his owner's awareness and prompt intervention Maxim is on the road to recovery.
