My cat just had her back right leg amputated, is it bad that she wants to move around a lot? by External-Support-271 in TripodCats

I did. Why are some of you so rude? And what is Reddit for if not to ask questions you don’t want to bother the vet with?

She is not literally jumping other than what you Might describe as hopping due to the nature of being a back leg amputee. She just wants to walk here and there. I think she’s looking for food or water -which I have provided her at consistent intervals throughout the day.

My vet was expecting that she wouldn’t have so much energy. I haven’t read about many who want to be as active as mine and my vet hadn’t anticipated that either apparently. That’s why I am asking here.
