Hi, I am hoping someone might be able to help me. My cat went missing late night 4th of July, I found him today under the deck with a injury to his right hind leg. I rushed him to the Vet. (best in my area) and they discovered that the leg is dislocated in the "knee" completely and the foot appeared dead. They said that they would try to repair the ligaments and get circulation back in the foot, but they think it might end up being amputated.
Can anyone tell me how to deal with the wound, and experiences with a newly amputeed cat and the cat's behavior. Thanks for any and all help.
