[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 681632, member: 1963"] Funny story about bladder-lift surgery. The foundation queen of my cattery had had several litters of large kittens, and (she) and I both decided it was time to retire her and let her live out her years as a beloved pet (which she was in between litters). Unfortunately, as a result of those pregnancies and delivering so many large babies, she had bladder issues. When I made the appointment to have her spayed, I asked my vet about doing something to help with the incontinence. He said he knew they did surgery on humans, but had never heard of it in cats. However, his wife worked for a OB-GYN, and he'd have her ask about about it. He called me back a couple of days later, and said that it was all set, but he wanted me to scrub in and watch. OK? Well, day of surgery came. I scrubbed in, only to find my vet, his OR tech, and a speaker phone. On the phone was his wife's employer, who once the spay was done, proceeded to walk my vet, step by step, through performing a bladder-sling surgery. My vet simply translated the instructions from vertical to horizontal, and into cat anatomy. It went beautifully. Amber recovered well; and the incontinence problems were cured. [/QUOTE]
