Mrs Goh brought a female to be spayed under our sponsorship but it was discovered that the cat was not fit to be spayed. 

The vet called me last night to inform me that upon further investigation, it is another case of diaphragmatic hernia (again!)

Surgery is possible, but it is high-risk.  In certain cases (as in the case of Buzz), the cat can live on comfortably but must be prevented from jumping and bumping into any surface. 

Ref: http://www.myanimalcare.org/2011/04/buzz-cat-with-diaphragmatic-hernia.html

The decision will be Mrs Goh's as she is the caregiver of this cat.  We will assist within our means.  The vet says the cat appears to be in good form. 


From http://www.cat-world.com.au/diaphragmatic-hernia-in-cats:

Diaphragmatic hernia is a defect or tear in the diaphragm, which in turn allows the abdominal contents such as the liver or intestines to enter the chest cavity. This may either be a congenital abnormality (present at birth), or the result of trauma, such as that in a car accident or fall from a high building. When this happens, pressure is applied to the lungs, resulting in difficulty breathing.

Our vet said, sometimes, diaphragmatic hernia could also be caused by a kick or any form of assault on the cat.
