Hello I posted this in the health area. I tried deleting it from the and have no idea how . I copied and pasted this so I didn’t have to re write it............
Hello everyone! Its been a while! Ok back story, I just got my 3rd sphynx from the same breeder my other 2 boy are from. When I contacted the breeder to see if she had kittens available she told me yes and sent all the pics. Before I had the change to pick which one I would like she sent me a pic of a little boy that had a lobster paw(syndactyly) she knows I LOVE my boys and told me she would feel comfortable with me taking him if I didn’t mind the paw and I did my research( or she would keep him). I researched and found out there is not a lot of people who report this in there cats so there’s not a lot of info on it. But every site did say this does not hind there lives and they can live long healthy happy life like every cat. So I took him to the vet and the vet said he’s never seen a cat with this type of abnormality. We did xrays and he had a surgeon look at them over the weekend. Today he called saying the surgeon hasn’t really come across this type a problem just read on medical boards the best option would be to amputate. I’m trying to figure out if this is there easy way out of it since they do not have experience with it. And it seems like the easy way out. Ir if it really is the best option for the kitten. Does anyone have/had experience with this? Just looking for opinions
Thank you and sry my post is so long. I do have pics if anyone would like to see
