Ronald Gaskin, DVM sits down with Kelly St. Denis, DVM, DABVP (Feline Practice), JFMS co-Editor-In-Chief, for a lively chat about his recent JFMS Clinical Spotlight article, “Flexor tenectomy: Salvage surgery following feline onychectomy.” Over a wide-ranging discussion, Dr. Gaskin shares how the studies in the article came about, how they determined which patients to select for the study, and how they were able to obtain such detailed radiographs that provided the new findings presented within the article. Dr. Gaskin also shares tips for general practitioners on how to determine if a cat is a good candidate for flexor tenectomy, how to go about the paw examination, and how behavior changes in house-soiling and aggression can actually be pain symptoms due to prior onychectomy.
