Please keep him in your thoughts. Short story--front right paw is paralyzed, twisted and turned under; leg is severly atrophied. We considered wrist fusion surgery, but b/c of above reasons, he's not a good candidate. The leg is in his way; he lifts it up to run but hobbles on the turned-over paw when walking.
Sigh....
So anyway, amputation on Wednesday. Taking him in Tuesday night; they are going to put a pain patch on him so it will kick in by the time he wakes up Wednesday afternoon. They will keep him till Friday.
I have a friend with a tripod kitty who does great, so I believe he'll be much better off without this leg in his way. But it's still been a very hard decision.
