    Advice for tripawd care please

    Rasta’s weight was a concern too initially, & whether it would put too much strain on his existing leg, but now that he’s on cisapride for regular bowel movements & omega3 fish oil for his joints, he seems to be coping remarkably well… I would tentatively say he appears to be losing weight. I’m...

    Advice for tripawd care please

    I just wanted to share with you all that Rasta is doing really well 🙌 turns out the stairs are no issue for him at all, even without carpet. He now goes outside & has settled in to a happy routine. He’s come such a long way in a relatively short space of time. Once his fur grows back, you would...

    Advice for tripawd care please

    Thank you 🙏 he’s already on a good diet, due to previous constipation issues. He has added fibre, water & latulose in his wet food & recently began cisapride to help. The litter is non clumping wood chip, he didn’t seem to like the paper version, & the litter tray has a lowered access point...

    Thank you 🙏 I’ve had 3 cats who lived into their 20’s, which is the reason why the amputation was the only option. He was still using his leg but I do think it must’ve hurt. The soft tissue carcinoma was too embedded for the tumour to be removed. This morning he is meowing his head off for...

    Advice for tripawd care please

    … there’s a whole site dedicated to ‘tripawd’ 💗 The effect it will have on his usual cat behaviour is what I’ve struggled the most with to get my head around. He won’t make biscuits, he won’t stretch on his scratchy post & at the moment, he won’t be able to dig a hole to use his litter tray. I...

    Advice for tripawd care please

    He’s in a pen & will be for 10-14 days… at the moment he’s alert (until the gabapentin kicks in) is eating well. I don’t know how long it will take for him to use the litter tray? The stairs will be blocked off when he’s allowed to be more mobile. I did think a carpet would be better. Thank you...

    Advice for tripawd care please

    Thank you 🙏 yes, I’m quite worried about how he will manage the stairs. It doesn’t have carpet & am wondering if carpet would make things any easier for him? Will definitely look into adapting things to make his life as easy as possible. He’s currently cosy & comfortable 💗🐾🐾🐾x

    Advice for tripawd care please

    Thank you for taking the time to respond & for your comments. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions but I’m glad to say Rasta’s been an angel at taking his meds & is doing well so far. Yes, that’s him in the avatar. I truly hope he will adapt. He hasn’t used the litter tray yet 😬 He is gorgeous...

    Advice for tripawd care please

    Hi, yesterday my gorgeous boy had his front leg amputated because of an inoperable tumour. He’s 11 & has to be kept in a pen for 10 days post op. I was hoping someone might have any tips or advice & experience of going through the same process please. Thanks 🐾🐾🐾
