I recently rescued a 7 month old cat named Flossie. (I have another thread here)
Essentially, she is missing a significant portion of her left hind leg. We've been observing her since she got home, and it seems like it causes her pain when her nub touches the ground, and she has to take extra care to hold it in the air. I talked to Dr. W (retired vet who is handling the whole situation with these hoarded cats) and we decided that getting the rest of it amputated is the best thing for her. We're going to wait 2-3 weeks for her to heal from her spay and get really comfortable here.
I was hoping to get some insight from your own personal experiences, and maybe hear how your cats have healed and adjusted and such.
