I'm wondering if anyone has had a cat that had to have his back leg amputated, and how it did. We took our cat for a second opinion because of an on going problem with his back leg, new vet said it will never heal and has to be amputated. I refused to believe it until he showed me the xrays, I'm still in shock. We've been treating him for this problem for almost 4 months, but I never thought it would result in amputation. I was hoping this second vet would cure it with laser.
Is there anything special we will have to do for him, and will he learn to walk fairly normally?
