Today in Russia, the surgery of removing the claws called "soft paws" is widely spread out. Do you know what is behind this name? Onychectomy - is a very serious operation, which causes irreparable harm to your cat's health. Your cat is at risk of getting permanently disabled! Operation is done under general anesthetic, the first phalanx of the fingers are removed with the claws. Post-operating period is about 10 days. But the surgery is not always going smoothly and often it leads to complications such as infections, pain in legs when walking, incoordination, nails growing into the foot, huge inflammation of limbs, nerve strain, which brings a lot of pain, abscesses, arthritis and this is not a complete list of the possible consequences.
