Amputation
involves major surgery on animal; but if it removes a painful limb then it may
be the best solution for your cat. Cats cope very well on three legs even
without a tail and after a period of adjustment they can do everything a
four-legged cat can do!(That is awesome)
Tail amputation
Cats' tails are long
usually, highly mobile and prone to accidental injury, fractures, dislocations
and bites. In some instances a severely damaged tail may require amputation.
This is a relatively straightforward operation, and although your cat may take
some time getting used to its new condition and living without one organ, tail
amputation is unlikely to have a long-term impact on your cat's behavior.
Limb amputation
Limb amputation may be
performed if your cat’s leg has been severely injured in the accident or
there is a tumor on the limb, for example. Your vet will provide you with
information and advice on helping your pet recover from the surgery.
Although this seems a drastic measure, many cats continue their lives on three
legs without any problems and continue their life normally. Of course, your cat
may need to learn how to move around as he or she once did, but by passing
time, most can compensate for the changes in weight distribution and learn to
walk and run again.
Amputation doesn't have to
be the end of everything for cats. Instead, consider it as the beginning of a
new life for him, a positive option that can humanely extend cats' lives.
