Which is more difficult (in terms of recovery and compensation): a hind limb amputation or a fore limb amputation?

(Read below to find out!!)

In the not-so-distant past, if a dog or cat had an issue with his/her limb (due to cancer, trauma, loss of nerve supply, etc.), putting him or her down may have been the only reasonable option.

Not now!

Amputation is actually a reasonable and a great option for most otherwise healthy cases. They respond very well to short courses of rehabilitation – both front limb AND hind limb cases, in my experience.
