Marty was recently returned to the rescue as he decided he didn't like the resident cat after a 1.5yrs. He is doing great with his leg and has no problems. He is a sweet boy but definitely needs a home without cats!!
Marty is a very sweet boy that didn't have a good start to life. He came to us with an old injury to his back leg. It had been broken at some point and didn't heal back correctly. We took him to the orthopedic vet for a consultation. The injury can't be corrected but right now Marty doesn't know his back leg is a little different. He gets along just fine and the best part is that he can't really jump up on you which is a plus in my book, but this certainly doesn't stop him from going up and down stairs or doing anything else. In the future you will just have to keep in mind that it might be possible that he would need to have his leg amputated if it should start to cause him lots of problems. But since he has gained weight and has gotten healthy and strong he has no problems with getting around and using his leg now. More about MartyGood with Dogs, Not Good with Cats
