"Brigitte" wrote I would have preferred not getting her declawed, but because I have a blind pug, and as you know, their eyes protrude and have no snout to speak of, their eyes are "out there", so to speak, so their eyes are probably more susceptible to injury. And being blind compounds that problem. Bridgett. Your pug is ALREADY BLIND. What did you think the cat was going to do to his eyes?? Via your logic everyone with a sighted, bugeyed dog and a cat needs to have the cat declawed. Ridiculous. |

enlightened us with... Arrrrrgggg!!! Why did you have her declawed??? I would have preferred not getting her declawed, but because I have a blind pug, and as you know, their eyes protrude and have no snout to speak of, their eyes are "out there", so to speak, so their eyes are probably more susceptible to injury. And being blind compounds that problem. Um, one's normal worry about the eyes is that one might BECOME blind. To declaw a cat to prevent some remote possibility of a future injury to another pet seems a bit extreme. I mean, it IS the amputation of the last joint of the toe. Cats walk on their toes - like ballerinas. Try that trick. Cut off the last joint of each of the toes of a ballerina and see how well she does. But hey, maybe that's just me. The idea of declawing makes me feel shuddery. Anyway, hope your kitty gets better. -- -- ~kaeli~ Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |

What did you think the cat was going to do to his eyes?? Cause further damage requiring the eye be removed.

Brigitte You could have gotten the cat Soft Paws. These are plastic caps that you apply to each nail. They are harmless to the cat, in fact, they hardly notice they are there. Read about them at www.softpaws.com You could have saved your cat's toes. Did your vet even mention any of the negative aspects of declawing? I'm not saying your fear for the dog's safety is unwarranted, but were there any incidents that caused such a drastic measure? -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net www.kelltek.com Check out www.snittens.com |
