You guys.
This is a bit of a heavy one for you today. I wanted to let you know about a resource that my friends at Tripawds have come up with to help pet parents who are struggling with the possibility of having to amputate one of their pet’s limbs.
It’s a sad fact that, sometimes, pets get cancer. Sometimes they are born with physical defects. Occasionally, they injure themselves beyond repair. In all cases, amputation is one way to relieve your pet’s discomfort. I also personally like to think I look like a badass because of my stump. When faced with these decisions, pet parents feel stress, fear, worry, and often have very few resources or people to turn to for comfort. That’s where Tripawds steps in, no pun intended.
Already well known for their excellent website where pet parents can gather together for online support, Tripawds has now started a toll-free Tripawds Pals Helpline where those of you who are struggling with the decision to amputate can talk to someone who knows, cares, and understands. And maybe also has an accent. I love talking to people with British accents. Anyway, while these people are not veterinarians and cannot give you specific medical advice, they can talk you through your decision and give you a perspective you may not otherwise have had.
If you’d like to give them a call, dial 844-TRIPAWD (844-874-7293).
That’s

Tell them Crepes sent you.
Love,
Crepes.
This is really great. Dad is an amputee it is just a part of life for some people and pets.
Thanks so much

That’s really great to have that support and resource out there now. My Human’s first cat Doogie only had 3 legs, so she really got to know all about tripawd kitties. And Crepes you totally rock!
This is really great information to have!
Thanks sooooo much!

Thank you for sharing this resource, Crepes! I am glad it is out there for people who need it.
Fantastic resource. We wouldn’t look for them until they are needed. So happy there is a resource out there for dogs and cats.
This is such a great idea! We know that it’s very scary for people to have to choose to amputate their beloved pet’s limb, but so many kitties like you, Crepes, or like Cousin Earl can show that tripods are perfectly capable and get around just fine!
We think this is a great resource. Paws up to Tripawds!
