New York Is Poised to Become the First State to Ban Cat Declawing. Here's What to Know

It should be nationwide. I've had cats for many decades and never once thought about declawing them. Even indoor cats can occasionally escape and they're basically defenseless.
I would never declaw a cat, but I've got one that sure does like to tempt me! 🤣 her hobby is whittling... the door posts 🙄
That’s a good start! 👍❤️

Stick chewers, beware!!!
Eileen is a sweet lab puppy that presented to our ER service for drooling and refusing to eat. A lab refusing to eat!? Whaaat!?
Upon presentation, she was drooling and head shy, and wouldn’t let anyone look in her mouth. She was sedated for an oral exam, at which time a stick was found lodged between her molars along the roof of her mouth (hard palate). The stick was removed with no further injuries!

Aww poor baby!! Leave it to a lab to chew up sticks and get it stuck or have a foreign body!
Look at that sweet face! So glad she’s ok!!
I’ve always been afraid of that. Glad your beautiful pup is ok!
I saw this same thing happen to a dog on Dr Jeff: Rocky Mountain Vet. Glad the mystery was solved!!!
Glad she's better!
Great news
Eileen went to the right place for treatment❤️🐾❤️🐾
C’mon Eileen! 😆 Quit chewing sticks, sweet pea 💛
I have had to remove sticks jammed in the upper jaw of two of my dogs. Look for head shake, and pawing at the muzzle. It can generally be dislodged with a finger
My lab Buddy has one stuck in the roof of his mouth. He had licked it clean and it looked like s bone. Took it out and he was a happy camper. No idea how long it was there!
Glad she’s doing well 🐾❤️
My dog growing up had a bone stuck in her throat. Her tongue was raw from trying to move it out. She never got any bones after that !
🙏
We’ve just recently stopped our dog playing with sticks. In one week she cut her tongue and then choked on a piece of stick.
Seen this twice before!
Molly had a damn pine cone.

Thank you for this but I’m crying crocodile tears thinking about my fur baby
Yeah, send your pet to CARE for Emergency Care and you will be saying goodbye. Horrible place!!! They killed my cat.
It’s one of the hardest moments of your life. Your logic and your heart do battle. Well said. We know the people at CARE prescribe to this in their every day practice. ❤️ Thanks for loving our pets as we do!
CARE and dr Campbell and her team did an incredible job as we went through a 13 month cancer journey with our bloodhound, Stella. Amazing place, highly recommend. They were so supportive throughout the entire process ❤️❤️
Some times it’s a easy call knowing their pain, other times it’s like a roller coaster in tryin to figure out the correct time in not too soon and not too late.😢
