Today's book is a book about an incredible cat and how astonishing advances in veterinary medicine made Oscar the cat's recovery possible. "Oscar: The Bionic Cat" by Kate Allan tells the story of Oscar the cat. Oscar was in a terrible accident that caused both of his back legs to be seriously damaged.
Kate Allan took Oscar to the local vet, but there wasn't really anything that he could do to save the cat's legs. However, all hope was not lost for Oscar. Oscar's vet knew about a veterinary surgeon named Noel Fitzpatrick who was performing groundbreaking surgeries in his clinic in Surrey.
Oscar went to Fitzpatrick Referrals, and he was the first recipient of two integrated implants. One was placed in the bone of each leg allowing Oscar to walk again.
This book is very interesting. I definitely recommend it. I love to watch the program "Supervet" which shows various cases that Oscar's vet Noel Fitzpatrick handles. He is able to do some remarkable things.
The book does leave the reader hanging a bit as to the ultimate outcome for Oscar. However, if you watch the first ever episode of "Supervet" you will see Oscar and learn that he is still going strong with the continued support of Fitzpatrick's clinic.
