A botched declaw. There are more botched declaws than people care to imagine. Vets work fast and let’s say too fast sometimes and carelessly. If you click on the link above the photograph, you will be taken to a page where you can read the words of a vet tech who describes her distress at the declawing operation and the problems that it causes in cats. Please read that page and read this lady’s words. I think that you will change your mind about the operation if you do.
