This is a photo of a vet in Iowa declawing what looks to be an older cat with his laser. This cat isn't having gas anesthesia because of the risk of the laser igniting the oxygen. The cat most likely has been given ketamine which will not allow him to move but he will feel the amputations. Many vets do it this way even with the guillotine cutters. This cat can't figure out what's going on and is probably thinking WTF is happening to me!??? The popular attitude lately with many pro-declaw vets is they say that the laser amputations are more humane, less pain, faster healing, and other misinformation that hasn't been proven.They like to mislead cat owners in believing their cats will be fine after having their toes burned off. ?? In fact one of the board members of the NYSVMS says this about laser declawing. "There is no scientific evidence that cats declawed with lasers do any better than those done with a scalpel assuming the surgery is done with good technique. My personal opinion is that the notion that laser is better has been created by companies that sell the $30,000 laser machines and perpetuated by practitioners who need to justify the purchase." And yet you will see in the story on the link on my profile that the Presisent of the ‪#‎NYSVMS‬ says that declawing with a laser is more humane. If that's the case then why does she also offer the "traditional" and less humane way? Folks, the sooner we pass this bill in NY and save cats in that state, the sooner the rest of the states will ban this inhumane and unnecessary procedure and "doctors" like this one in the photo and then one in my story won't be able to harm cats. On Monday PLEASE call the legislators and tell them you SUPPORT the bill to end declawing in NY and this cruelty and torture. It's now or never! They need to hear your support especially if you are one of their constituents! #important #cat #protection #bill #citythekitty #pawsneedclaws #goodoverevil
