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♥️♥️♥️

Sally  and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

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 smiley6smiley6
