My 4 year old cat has been having an ongoing UTI. She's had an antibiotic treatment and shes also on a special Royal Cann UTI diet.I've tried everything. Would she benefit from Chiroptactic adjustment ?

Whilst the field of chiropractic adjustment is beneficial for patients with musculoskeletal disorders, I don’t see any benefits for treating infections or other conditions. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM

Can my 17 year old cat have a chropractic procedure done? She has problobly a 6/10 pain level. Reason wondering because I don't know if she would be harmed by it.

Firstly it depends on whether the issue may be resolved by chiropractic adjustment or not; secondly any adjustment or the decision to perform an adjustment is at the discretion of the practitioner. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM

My husband, who has mobility issues, fell on our 3 year old Maine Coon on Friday, 03/16/18 I took him to the vet - ex-ray shows a dislocated hip. The veterinarian tried to put it back in place under general anesthesia with no success (due to torn ligaments). Per my vet, we will wait a couple of weeks to see how cat does - if he's getting along fine, no need to do anything. If he still is having pain, surgery to remove the ball to prevent bone rubbing on bone would be advised. Would a chiropractor be able to move the joint so surgery would not be needed? At this time cat is tenderly putting weight on affected leg.

Thank you for your email. Dislocated joints can be difficult to keep in, once those ligaments are torn. Most cats don't do well once that hip is out, and it can be a source of chronic pain. A chiropractor won't be able to keep the joint in any more than your veterinarian, and it would be best to schedule the surgery so that he can move along the road to recovery more quickly. Typically, the surgery to remove the femoral head is quite effective.

Young male with what seems like recent hip dislocation through blunt force trauma. We are in Istanbul caring for the street cats. Chiropractic would be plausible treatment? feels like out in front. He is very protective of not only back left hip area...but leg and paw as well. Limps and barely touches back left paw to ground...only to balance. lays on the side often to apply pressure and protect. since he has lived in cat colony on stairs by our flat, have watched him grow. This is within last month.brought him in a few days ago and he is resting and eating...to be neutered tomorrow. concerned nerve damage will follow

Without examining Kaju I cannot say whether or not if chiropractic care would be suitable; without an x-ray to assess the integrity of the hip joint (femoral head and acetabulum) I cannot say if manual closed reduction or any other manipulation is suitable. The Veterinarian neutering him tomorrow will be able to palpate around the joint and have an idea, but it is down to them whether they decide to reduce it or not. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM
