Handicapped Pets

At Animals in Distress, as I'm sure you can imagine, from time to time we take in animals that are handicapped in some way. Most recently we've had a few cats with leg injuries so severe that they require amputation in order to save the cat, and provide a fairly good life again. They're amazingly stoical, and before very long learn to scoot around on their 3 legs just as if they still had 4. Sometimes though they still think they have 4, and can be seen trying to scratch with the leg that's no longer there! If you go to my Tale of three 3-Legged Cats, published in July, you'll be able to read more about them.

I've recently come across another blog dedicated to handicapped pets, with all sorts of useful, interesting and fascinating information, Q&As, etc for those who use pet wheelchairs. Please have a look at Handicapped Pets.
