I reached out to the vet in Texas who declawed Sassy the raccoon on all four paws with his laser. One of the questions I had was how do raccoon owners decide if they will do a two or four paw declaw. This vet also wanted to tell me that burning off a raccoons (or cat's) toe bones with his laser is humane. Here is what he said. "Clients decide 2 vs. 4 based on risk vs. benefit vs. cost. Some animals are very sweet and some are not." Dr Steve Garner "Laser is CO2 molecules hyperexcited and tuned to create a photon frequency that causes water to vaporize. Cells are largely bags of water, so when their contents are vaporized it causes the cell to be disrupted by steam. This is not burning, does not cause the same pain, but does allow accurate dissection not allowed by scalpel or electrosurgery. The nerves are sealed by the process and blood vessel collagen is constricted so there is no bleeding and visualization is easier. This is important. Think of your nails, they grow from bone, but it is your finger tips that are important. Removal of the claws in a manner that is humane and so they will not grow back is done by laser so that the claw and the bit of bone that it grows from is removed while leaving the important finger tips or pads of the toes present. This can be done with laser. Look at the photos you posted. The fingertips are still there and only the claws are gone. This is not mutilation – it is done with laser under magnification to preserve the feeling and function of the toes. The heavy bandages are to prevent the raccoon from doing self-trauma before the wounds are healed." Dr Steve Garner. Do Sassy's paws look ok to you? ?? We MUST educate the public that no matter how a declawing vet amputates a raccoon, kinkajou, dog, or cat's toe bones, it is ALWAYS inhumane and mutilating. This is a FACT!
