Such an amazing team of people to Help save Oscar!

He was walking around and exploring like he never lost his feet.

Here is the article, and a video.

if remember correctly,oscar has now got the permenent false legs fitted,as the first ones were just duct taped on,he went through so much and came through he shoud be given the animal medal for bravery.

it is great that vets are bothering to save our pets in this way,instead of just automatically PTS,online have seen a horse with a false leg fitted and a swan with a false beak fitted [it had been shot at by kids],if only they coud make this standard practice,though am guessing the reality of it woud be high cost.
maybe there shoud be a world fund set up for pets like oscar to get the same chance he did,as coudnt bear to think of another animal being PTS over something fixable with a mobility aid.

Poor thing! Sounds like he's been through a lot. cry It's good to see the treatment worked, though. Oscar really does move wonderfully on his new legs~! applause
