BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — A three-legged cat named Moira is making headlines after receiving a rare full hip replacement surgery at the Veterinary Referral Center of Central Oregon in Bend.
Moira came to the Humane Society of Central Oregon as a kitten with severe back and leg injuries, ultimately losing one leg.
Struggling to move, Moira’s new owner and Dr. Dujowich decided a hip replacement was necessary. To perform the state-of-the-art procedure, the doctor used 3D-printed replicas of Moira’s bones based on her scans.
