How will a domestic cat be fitted with a prosthetic leg?

A pet cat lost all fours during a cold burn. Now it is possible to freely run and jump thanks to four titanium prostheses, installed by its owner.

Ryzhik cat , living in Tomsk city (Siberia, Russia) had to remove four legs, due to a necrosis after a cold burn. Tomsk city in Siberia is a place with severe weather, cold winters, temperatures around minus 40 degrees Celsius.

The first cat in the world confidently walked with 4 fake legs.

This cat is lucky enough to meet the kind-hearted owner who helped him heal wounds and has even recently installed a prosthetic leg for his pet.

The new feet of Ryzhik cats are made entirely of titanium, produced by computerized cutting technology and 3D models. Accordingly, Ryzhik became the only cat in Russia to live well thanks to four fake feet.

Veterinary surgeon Sergey Gorshkov said: "This is definitely the first cat in the world to undergo these surgeries. Prosthetic limbs are linked to real skin and bones. We have done very well. Successful surgery, after removing its 4 limbs, but we guarantee, the function of 4 prosthetics will work well. "

Ryzhik cat carefully walked down the stairs .

The video of the Ryzhik cat recording shows that the cat has not yet fully adapted, but quite satisfied when moving on new legs.

The Gorshkov Clinic, where cats treat and install prostheses, is also a pioneer in new methods of saving animals. This clinic had previously successfully registered a patent for grafting techniques for birds.
