It is not as commonly known that declawing can cause such horrid pain and issues. I really appreciate this real life story to illustrate the dangers. <br />I am a mini schnauzer whose tail was docked at 3 days old, and it has caused me a lifetime of issues that Mommy has worked hard to overcome for me. I can understand Jammies pain.Pixel Blue Eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749541248235689630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-29115947033155208722012-01-15T19:09:25.542-06:002012-01-15T19:09:25.542-06:00This is a great post for Blog with the change.
You...This is a great post for Blog with the change.<br />Yous knows, me has a scratching problem. Mommy, who has lots and lots of cats, tried everything to gets me to stop. Me has ruined thousands of dollars worth of furniture, and Mommy and Daddy was tempted to get me declawed. <br />She did not know what they did for declawing until they did some pre-research and was horrified that it was TOE amputation! <br />So it is not always preaching to the choir sometimes the choir can be uninformed too.<br />Thanks for explaining so wonderfully.<br />Kisses<br />NellieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08349527615197248660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-89386996002482783802012-01-15T16:58:28.408-06:002012-01-15T16:58:28.408-06:00@jodistone, that's a great question. (and than...@jodistone, that's a great question. (and thanks for stopping by and visiting us on our blog today!)<br /><br />One of the things another blogger, Pamela (at somethingwagging.com) blogged about today is the idea of "stop preaching to the choir". So many times our audience is already filled with cat lovers and folks who know that declawing is a cruel and inhumane thing. She suggests participating in other online venues to educate those who aren't "on the inside" - places like pinterest, squiddoo and yahoo answers.com. I'd encourage you to go check her post out at http://www.somethingwagging.com -- it's a great read!A Tonlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08088764837982515116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-41811516829367048652012-01-15T16:40:36.707-06:002012-01-15T16:40:36.707-06:00What a sad story.

More people need to know about situations like this. <br /><br />Whenever I try to explain the issues to pet owners, they seem to exalt the cats who do survive without issue. <br /><br />"But Mr. Snuggles gets along just fine! He still climbs trees and catches mice. Nothing stops him!" <br /><br />An n of one is not a statistically sound record. Many more cats aren't that lucky - as you say, 50% - and the risk is not worth it. Declawing is a barbaric practice and, aside from being an easy money maker for irresponsible vets who don't disclose the full story, there is no need for torturous measures for the sake of a sofa.<br /><br />I type this as my husband is clipping our cats' 40 claws single handedly. It's easy, and can be done without issue with patience and kindness. <br /><br />Thanks so much for spreading the word and Blogging the Change!<br /><br />Kim C.<br />BTC4animasl.com<br />ThisOneWildLife.comBtC4animalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08294205696667554492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-80373128669845087482012-01-15T10:35:23.903-06:002012-01-15T10:35:23.903-06:00Poor Jammies!
