Holly, this post, along with the other two you just made, are soooo informative!! For you to take the time to put these put here to this comm is so giving. Of course, you would'nt know how to be anymother way.
While I'm sorry you had to come here because of amputation, clearly Purrkins knew how invaluable you would be to this community. We are so grateful for you both. You have brought so much enlightenment and wisdom on so many levels to each of us.
We love you♥️♥️♥️

Oooooh! Another tool for Tripawds News. Thank you, this is terrific. Anytime a vet has that many letters after their name you know it's going to be helpful.
Hmm. Seems like Cool Tips for Tripawd Cats might be due for an update with these awesome tips! 😉

I adopted a cat 5 years ago and unfortunately, she passed last year. When I found her she was in very bad shape and I took her to the vet urgently. She managed to save her, but she had to have her leg amputated. Recovery was very difficult, but when she and I got used to it, everything was perfect. I miss my Mici
