PrairieProf Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) I dunno ... Beth and most of the toe amputees I've heard of have zero problem on wood floors (most of my house is wood) or hard surfaces. Losing a weight-bearing rear toe has had no visible effect on her gait/mobility at a walk or trot (I'd say her minor effect on her running form, but quite minor, not a limp). I would not consider that a standard/normal outcome for the procedure. But I had the vet looking at Beth's toe virtually every single day as we dealt with some healing complications, and could not have made it through without the reassurance of that close monitoring.
