cat has wrist (carpus) deterioration

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Maine Coon Cats : One Thread

My Main Coon mix has "hyper extension of the carpus." Basically, there is severe flexing of both wrists. She is 15 and has had the problem for a couple of years. Anyone else experienced anything like this? My vet currently has the cat in removable light-weight casts (and on a diet). This has helped a lot but we are searching for treatment recommendations that could reverse the damage. Otherwise she'll be wearing casts for the rest of her life. Thanks for any suggestions!
