@rubystar46 Thank you! She's still doing great :) I specifically take in special needs animals, and she's my snuggle monster. Don't know what I'd do without her.
my cat had to get his front left leg amputated.. i havent seen him yet and im worried. he was dropped and the bone right underneath his joint was completely snapped and in the wrong place.. the vets said that putting a plate in his leg might not do anything so he had to get it amputated. i hope my kitty will do as well as yours :(.
@Kimmypage44 Hes completely better :) Hes my little baby. Meowing when I talk to him, running after me when I go to my bedroom. The sad thing is he wants to go outside so bad, but i have another cat that goes outside and comes back beat up from other neighborhood cats. (that and the fact I dont want anybody stealing my cat). But everything is fine now.. Hes the same only now for some reason he wont eat meat. XD
Sorry for the late reply :) Nope, Izzy has no problems with her spine. Her front leg injury happened when she was a kitten and didn't involve her spine. :)
@soccercat1 I have a three legged cat too, front left missing after a road traffic accident when he was 9 months old. He has always done really well but occaisionally he is very 'down' on his good leg. My vet says that he may suffer from arthritis as he is using that leg so much more, and it may also affect his spine as he gets older. She recommended acupunture when he is older. Hope this helps.
@soccercat1 Also depends on their weight, and how they use the leg. Some end up compensating in different ways. Thus far, Izzy is now eight years old, and she's quite active. I honestly believe that the type of amputation also helps. Some doctors believe in removing the scapula, others wont. I feel that leaving her shoulder intact has helped distribute the weight in a more evenly fashion. Aside from acupuncture, there are also joint relief supplements available.
Bless your heart for taking her in. She looks healthy and happy.
