Hi Nicky and welcome to the forum. How upsetting to hear about poor Elsa. I don't have much experience with dealing with a cat having to have a limb amputated but my neighbour has and she said that her cat is fine with only 3 legs: running, climbing and is really happy and it doesn't stop her living life to the full

Its great that your little cat has had a diagnosis and is being treated and I'm sure that tomorrow the vet and nurses will give you a thorough run through will post op advice and post op checkups.

Wishing Elsa a speedy recovery! x
