This article disproves the claims that pro-declawers make about declawing in detail.
I would like to draw your attention to the list of physical results of declawing.
- Pain
- Hemorrhage (bleeding)
- Laceration of the paw pads
- Swelling
- Reluctance to bear weight on affected limbs
- Neuropraxia (transient motor paralysis)
- Radial nerve damage
- Lameness
- Infection
- Abscess
- Tissue necrosis
- Wound dehiscence (re-opening of surgical site)
- Incomplete healing
- Protrusion of 2nd phalanx (middle finger bone)
- Claw regrowth
- Scurs (growth of deformed claw segments)
- Retention of flexor process of last bone (3rd phalanx)
- Chronic draining tracts
- Self-mutilation
- Dermatitis
- Lethargy
- Palmigrade stance (walking on wrists)
- Chronic intermittent lameness
- Chronic pain syndrome
- Flexor tendon contracture
- Aggression
- Cystitis (bladder infection associated with stress)
“Medical complications occurred in 51.5% of cats declawed by the shear technique, and 82.5% of cats declawed by the blade technique, while the cats were still hospitalized; 19.8% of cats developed complications after release.”
and finally,
“In the most credible, long-term studies, the data show that up to 1/3 of declawed cats develop behavior problems after declawing.”
There is one other effect of declawing a cat:
If this [now] DEFENSELESS creature ever has need to be out of doors and encounters another creature… he/she will die: they no longer have any way to defend themselves nor would they have any way to feed themselves! This will inevitably end in the death of the one we deem is “a member of the family”.
Would you leave your mother, spouse or child in a neighborhood riddled with gang activity and shootings with no food, no weapon, no phone and no vehicle????
