Lachlan (Osteochondrodysplasia)

Meet Lachlan - the cutest and sweetest little grey tabby Scottish Fold! Lachlan came from Kuwait to get the treatment he needed and find his furever home. He was quite painful and closed off upon arrival. But now, after his veterinary visit, he’s become so playful and fun! He’s full of vim and vigor and cracks me up! ? Lachlan has Osteochondrodysplasia (OCD) which is very common in Scottish Folds. The abnormality that causes their ears to be folded also leads to cartilage issues throughout the body. For Lachlan this can be seen in his short tail that has little to no flexibility and his feet which are short and thick. Lachlan does so well on his pain regimen! He jumps and plays and is such a happy guy. His favorite thing is head scratches. He leans into them so much he often flips over on his side! Lachlan’s severe OCD will need to be treated for the rest of his life with a monthly injection at a vet office and daily doses of Gabapentin. This greatly improves his mobility and makes him comfortable. This injection, depending on the vet and location, can cost around $60-$100 per month. He will need to be on life long pain management including daily medication that he takes very easily. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested FeLV/FIV negative. A Grade 2 heart murmur was auscultated during exam, however no signs of congestive heart failure noted.
