Our family cat fell 40-ish feet from a tall oak tree and injured herself severely. I've taken her to the vet, originally I was told it was possible that the cat could heal, though not perfectly, with crate rest. I've been told she will need a Femoral Head Removal and Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO).
I'm just wondering if crate rest is still an option.
