How do you feel about declawing domestic cats?

I am okay with it. In the vast majority of cases, the benefits of declawing a cat are all about the owner really. Which isn’t necessarily a terrible thing in and of itself.

It depends. Very occasionally, vets may recommend declawing on medical grounds to promote your cat’s welfare. The two leading reasons for this are paronychia and neoplasia.

Declawing is opposed by many animal welfare organizations who claim it is harsh, unneeded, and can lead to long-term health difficulties for cats, including as chronic discomfort, arthritis, and behavioral disorders. Because there are better options, I tend to agree with them.

1- all depends on HOW it’s done. I’ve seen cats live long lives declawed. A vet I used to work for did it by laser. No sutures, no bandages and cats were walking normal the next day. Sometimes it’s the last resort and I’m not going to judge a person for their choices.

Hello everyone! So my dream job is to work at a veterinary office and I wasn’t able to go to college for it due to my financial issues and I still have that issue. I wanna get my foot in the door of any vet office I live in Maryland and I will start out as anything I just don’t know where to start. I have lots of experience with customer service and I love love love pets! I have Pets of my own and they are my world.
