Holy cats. Normally, the loss of a foot is treated by taking the whole leg, since an animal can get along pretty well as a tripod. Leaving a nonfunctioning limb is a lot of overhead for an animal, and generally leads to serious complications. It’s only good if it’s just one leg that’s injured, though. A cat in England who lost two feet has just had a kind of prosthetic transplant to help him walk again.
When I read this article, and saw the video, I was just blown away. All I could think about was the frostbitten kittens Yvonne and I nursed back to health last Fall. What a miracle this would have been for Lima, who lost a foot. Because of the foot, she had to lose the whole leg. This would have solved the issue without such a dramatic surgery. What we see in veterinary medicine in the next few years will be amazing. The future is now.
I know, I’m goofy. We really worried over whether her eye would heal successfully, but it finally did.
