Hello, Tripawd community! I wanted to post an update as I haven't been on the site since October 2019 and thought a positive sharing especially when people are likely on this forum because they are in the thick of terrible decisions about amputating their beloved pet's limbs. Fiona has recovered beautifully. Her personality is the same. Through stools and steps to out beds, she manages climbs like a champ. We even took her on a 9-hour road trip as we spent five weeks in a beach rental during COVID so she is really living her best life. Just in the last month, she caught a mouse and a mole out in our back garden (don't worry, it's totally fenced and we monitor her--she is truly an indoor cat other than these supervised excursions) and proudly nabbed a roach in the basement--so her hunting days (luckily for us!) haven't diminished. While she does have the phantom limb itching issues, we are able to lend a hand and help her out and she doesn't seem bothered by it. I know making these decisions can be incredibly stressful, but once you get through the healing and recovery, it does get better. We're so very grateful to have Fiona in our lives and hope by catching the cancer early and operating quickly, we will have Fiona for many, many more years. Everyone take care. Be well. Anne


WHEEEEE!!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know how she is doing. You have such a big heart to share her progress so that others can feel comforted knowing things do get better. She looks fantastic.
She's a real inspawration to all of us. I love how she just looks so relaxed and chill, just like we all hope our new Tripawds will be some day.
You rule your castle, Fiona! Those critters don't stand a chance with you around. Keep on hoppin'!
