Mina's Momma, I've said before that I'm dead set against declawing for the reason of saving furniture, but in Mina's case,if it would relieve her of pain, I think that it would be a good reason.
Thanks david p. Several of my friends where I'm at keep telling me I'm being cruel getting it done. They keep telling me to keep doing like the vet told me to do until she get big enough for the surgery and that's is a special way to trim her nails which leaves her poor paws sore for the next couple of days and she doesn't play. I will never declaw a cat for cosmetic purposes unless its to save the cats life. (example its on death row at the animal shelter). But with Mina's condition its either she has the surgery or she is in pain every other week from having to have those blasted nails clipped. (we are now having to clip right into the quick of her nail because its growing right into her paw.)
