- have you been able to cut his claw any better?
I'm glad I found your post! My cat is having the same issue. Her one side is normal and the other is thick and hard to see the quick. I'm worried about it growing into her paw because it's that hard to get to to clip. Plus she just really doesn't like when her paws are being held to clip. She's only a year old, do you think having these claws removed would be good for her like you did for yours?
It's hard to say. But it probably would be. My cat had hers removed when she was around a year old. Recovery sucks, but it was otherwise fine. They definitely were growing in such a way that they would have needed to be removed eventually no matter what. Apparently, my vet says this is a fairly common thing that happens with polydactyls.
I can't imaging that being comfortable or good for his joint. How much does the procedure usually cost?
I am fairly certain that the vet just charged me the same as they would for a front paw declaw. They asked me if I was sure I only wanted those claws taken out.Recently i've been thinking seriously about declawing that one digit because I can hear it clacking when he walks. and this is *after* I trimmed his nail
Not a vet I go to regularly, just one that I could find to do that procedure. It was $700, but vet care is expensive around here.
I'm in upstate New York, and vet care here is pretty pretty pricey too. I guess I will start saving up now... may as well do the procedure when he's young and quick to recover.I am fairly certain that the vet just charged me the same as they would for a front paw declaw.
