Having worked at vet clinics for many years I would opt for surgery! With a kitten, confinement is going to be very hard, especially with a splint, and if there are any set backs it can take MONTHS to heal. Surgery would be less painful in the end, as well as there would be less of a recovery time. I know it may cost more, but if I were in this situation I would opt for the surgery WITH pain meds!


Welcome to Pet Talk too! I would love to see some pictures of Socks.
