Mixed Methods The evaluation of community engagement may need both qualitative and quantitative methods because of the diversity of issues addressed (e.g., population, type of project, and goals). The choice of methods should fit the need for the evaluation, its timeline, and available resources (Holland et al., 2005; Steckler et al., 1992).
Cat Limp. Cat limp is another way of referring to an abnormal gait. The condition is the result of an underlying cause which needs to be identified in order to treat the condition. The most common causes of feline limp include minor to major injuries, localized infections and abscesses, sprains, arthritis and back bone problems.
Overview of Femoral Fractures in Cats. Fractures of the femur (thigh bone) are some of the most common fractures seen in cats. These fractures are usually the result of major trauma, but they can be caused by disease of the bone itself. Generally, femoral fractures cause acute, non-weight bearing lameness of the affected hind leg.
