When Lara arrived at the clinic it was clear she had serious issues with one of her back legs with an obvious fracture. Noel rushed the beautiful little cat into the clinic for assessment and once the x-ray pictures appeared on the screen it was clear she had a serious fracture of her femur (thigh bone).
Her femur was in multiple pieces and without surgery to realign and stabilise the fracture her leg would have to be amputated. Noel had to perform tricky reconstructive surgery to rebuild Lara’s shattered leg. Noel inserted a long plate and screws inside Lara’s leg to realign the fracture and hold it in place while it healed.
Lara spent 6 weeks recovering at home, nursed back to health by her best friend Ellis.
