Just a quick update. She is doing very well. She still uses the "bad leg" as a crutch. But she runs, plays, etc. and it doesn't seem to stop her. She's so fully of energy and love. She loves to cuddle all the time by snuggling under my chin. She won me over the minute I brought her home.
My question is if she has no use of her foot/leg other than using it as a sort of crutch should I get it amputated? Reason being is when she uses the litter box, it gets in the way and then I need to wash her.
There is a slight sore on her foot where it drags on the ground. And she's constantly cleaning it and stuff as if it bothers her or she realizes something is wrong with it.
She is around 4 months old, I think. I have it written down at home. She may be 5 months old. At the time of her first Vet visit, the vet said once she got "bigger" they could do the surgery. Does anybody know how big she should be?
Also, on her 2nd visit, the vet said she should be approaching the age where she goes into heat and should get her spayed. Should I maybe wait until then and if she's big enough get both surgeries at the same time?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
