Another Surgery For Cas The Fox

[@CatCaffeine]

I had a cat with a similar tumor, removing the leg is so much more humane than repeatedly putting them through stressful surgeries for sure. All the best for many more years as a happy, healthy tripod!

[@dominic.h.3363]

Except for the part that now he'll have constant problems with his hips. This wasn't the more humane choice, it was the lesser of two evils.

[@Kram1032]

@@dominic.h.3363 being the lesser evil would make it the more humane choice though?

[@dominic.h.3363]

@@Kram1032 He will have to significantly decrease his activities so his hip wouldn't be a constant source of problem and the target of a different series of treatments and surgeries, and being less active he will require a strict diet so he doesn't get obese which would just make matters worse. Even if it was the right choice, I wouldn't call this "humane", it was logical and that's the end of it. There was no "humane" alternative in this situation, going with the best option out of a limited set of options doesn't automatically make that choice "humane".

[@Kram1032]

@@dominic.h.3363 I'd say that's the same thing as "better" not meaning "good". Even if it's not humane in an absolute sense. It's *more humane than* the alternative.

[@dominic.h.3363]

@@Kram1032 Yea, well, if that's your definition of humane, then by all means, this was the humane choice.

[@the_schrecky]

A beautiful tripawed fox! I hope he overcomes his new challenge and adapts easily. My best friend adopted a tripawed young male dog a little over a year ago. His name is Birthday and he's the happiest boy he can be.

[@JamesWilson-px9dh]

Better 3 legs than no legs, think that's a good choice. Hoping for a quick and strong recovery for the beautiful Cas

[@animemusicluver1]

Poor Cas, my baby's leg gone now. I'm glad he has a better chance of living cancer free now.

[@animemusicluver1]

3:40 that's what I wanted to see 😍His happy little smile😊

[@EtainMcCloud]

What a hard choice and heavy burden. You surely did the right thing but I do not envy you that choice. It's so good to see him up and about.

[@marim0y]

As someone who had to make the decision to have a three legged pup, I'm positive you made the right choice. Way to go, Cas.

[@mikeg9b]

3:34 I'm amazed at how resilient he is. Thank you for taking such good care of him.

[@carverredacted]

He's already getting around pretty well. Awesome! I'm glad you were able to make the best choice for him.

[@Kaneanite]

Cas is strong floofy boi, missing a leg will not slow him down on bit.❤❤❤

[@MusicMLady]

Watching Cas’ first appearance on Scishow was what got me hooked on scishow and all their wonderful associated channels! Good luck Cas, you beautiful boy.

[@cravenlunatic1]

He looked so happy on his walk, and seeing serafina again.

[@amberbydreamsart5467]

Sorry to hear the cancer was so serious! Seems he's much happier being done with surgeries though! What a touching reunion with the two foxes

[@joe_jaeger]

Hoping to hear more from you about Cas' condition as the situation develops more. As always a great update on one of my favorite furry friends. Heres hoping the surgery pays off! Get well soon Cas!

[@kickingviolets]

oh my gosh, their reunion almost brought me to tears!! such a sweet bond those best friends have! Cas appears to be recovering well and I hope the rest of his recovery goes smoothly!!!

[@FlyingJetpack1]

4:24 this entire reuniting segment melted my heart

[@FuzzyLumpyKins]

Cas the tripod! He'll be fine once he recovers

[@lisetveter3521]

It must have been hard to make that decision, I'm glad to see that he's recovering well! I hope the adorable guy gets better soon and gets many more happy years.

[@kiriyoplay]

speedy recovery, cas!

[@jonathandevries2828]

Ahhh, Cas! So much love to you buddy, I'm sorry you lost your leg, but you're gonna be a great little tripaw!

[@midgetbarbie]

So glad he got to be reunited with his best friend! Get well soon, bud.

[@xevsetter1201]

Thoughts and prayers for Cas and your team. 💖🐾

[@michellet.2552]

Such a tough little guy! I whish you all the best, Cas!

[@CapriUni]

Those happy!wiggles of reunion are the best! Wagging from tip of tail to tip of nose! I'm kinda surprised, though, to see Cas still has white fur -- doesn't that usually shed out in the spring? Or has the stress of his cancer and surgery delayed all of that?

[@Gyarren]

Well, it's a shame that he had to lose the leg; but at least he won't be bothered by the tumors anymore. And he'll learn to get around okay. His little friend looked so happy to see him! How sweet!

[@Inusgirl05]

What an oddly appropriate time for this video to come. My 12.5 year old dog just had surgery today to remove a very large tumor on her chest. They warned us that it may be the type that keeps coming back so now we are waiting for the results. Now it’s time for her to be separated from our other dog and neither are happy. I’m so glad Cas is healing well and that he was able to be reunited with Sera! We wait for that happy day here as well! Good luck!

[@godzilla51196]

Major respect and props to Jess and co. for being able to make the super hard decisions. Their decisiveness and ability to make these hard choices can make all the difference in the lives of the animals they love and care for!

[@I_am_Lauren]

aawwwhhh poor boy! I hope he recovers and adapts quickly!

[@Ravenesque]

Love you all!

[@MusicsInMySoul977]

That was so well explained! I think that we always assume “well animals should always have all their limbs, that’s the best life!” But when you add in their stress levels and emotional issues than it makes the picture much bigger

[@pollyg562]

I DONT WANT ANAMORPHIZE BUT I SWEAR ON THE WALK THAT FOX HAD A LOOK OF RELIEF ON HIS FACE

[@LifeSGambit]

Get well soon Cas! With lots of love...and may you live as long as you can!

[@juliagraph]

CAS!! My heart. What a strong little dude.

[@willinwoods]

Cas is just SUCH a sweetie! I'm happy to see him reunited with his friend. Love to you all!

[@InsaneFoxx]

so happy you were able to add in the reunion.. that part made my night ^.^

[@kathys7570]

Wishing all the best for Cas and prayers that the cancer does not recur. Thank you for the care and love you give.

[@MeganKugs]

Oh man Cas is moving like that two weeks after amputation! That’s fantastic, he’ll build that strength and coordination and be unstoppable. I love the foxes so much and I was worried about Cas after the last update (I know I’m a few months late here, I’m playing a bit of catch up) but I’m thrilled to this. Out of a terrible situation with a bunch of terrible choices, I fully believe you made the right decision. Anyway you turn the problem around it always comes back to him being comforting and happy. Any option besides this one would led to serious discomfort many times, multiple surgeries and a absolute ton of stress. I commend you on an insanely difficult challenge well-met.

[@jeffw8057]

Thanks for showing the walk outside at the end!

[@courtneykappel370]

Best wishes to Cas for a speedy recovery!

[@abdasalame4458]

Hope he feels better

[@Myrtle2911]

Aww. Poor little guy. He looked fantastic on his walk, though! Animals are so much more resilient than people realize. He'll adapt in no time. Seeing him back with his favorite girl was the cutest!

[@Radio4starr]

So resilient, I love that thank you for sharing.

[@blueeyedMSUgirl]

Their friendship is so beautiful!

[@kitnarpyed4575]

Hi. I would just like to say that I hope Cas has a speedy and full recovery. I thank you for choosing a decision with the best in mind for Cas, and even though it is difficult I also thank you for choosing to look at this positively. I hope that Cas has happy years to come with the best care ( which let’s face it, you can’t get much better then animal wonders, with educated staff who have a drive to learn more and provide the best care possible.)

[@AzraelsCarmen]

I'm sure that was a heavy choice but you guys are doing everything you can for all of your animals and we appreciate you guys sharing the good and the hard, because that's life - especially with animals. I'm glad to see him recovering! Hoping for the best for him.

[@charlotteerlin8651]

Awwww poor baby! She is so brave!

[@hamilpatel4025]

so cute, and glad they are doing okay on 3 feet. hope for a speedy full recovery.

[@lloydmeadors]

Sorry to hear that, I was happy to see Cas and Serafina reunited though

[@whyme7181]

💞💞💞💞

[@Willow76ny]

He'll get the hang of it in no time and will be running before you know it. Best of luck to him and you!

[@dadsgirl99pr]

You did the best thing you could! You guys always take such good care of them!

[@FlyKiwi]

Look at that beautiful boy! We had a family dog who had his front right lef removed because of cancer. He got along just fine once he was healed, but it took a little extra effort to get up on the couch!

[@mattfry6716]

Sorry to hear about his leg.

[@whyme7181]

You made the perfect choice!!!! Sending love and light from ARIZONA!!!!

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

Good for you Cas. You are doing so well boy.

[@TraceyUllmanFan]

Hope you have a great recovery, Cas! You're still a handsome boy with only three legs

[@HeinzP100]

I don't know which is worst, losing the leg, or having to suffer the cone of embarrassment. Glad to see the poor fox getting around so well. Great job!

[@madchenblindes]

You are AH-MAZING! Hopefully this will help people realize that we have so many similarities that coincide with these animals; we should show them love and respect. Thank you for sharing Cas' journey with us!

[@redsnowpenguin]

He looks really happy once he's outside!

[@natashatinajero5969]

i am so sorry for him and proud

[@afishynado6812]

Amazing how easily animals are able to adapt to losing a limb. :) Good luck to Cas!

[@trevororchard2741]

So happy to see his walk. He looks to be very happy and being re-united with Seraphina seemed to help them both a lot as well. Not the easiest decision to make but it looks like he is ok and accepts it wasn't a bad one to male.

[@UTEEPster]

Here's hoping for Cas to feel better!

[@yenxion6516]

These two are my favorite animal at AnimalWonders. It so sad to see Cas so sad, I hope he get better soon.

[@bubbajenkins123]

I love Cas very much. He’s a good boy. Yes he is, yes he is.

[@niniana]

I'm heart broken, but it was the best for him! Hope Cas stay healthy now

[@SuzyJacobs87]

I’m so glad Cas is going to be ok!! We had the same thing happen to my precious kitty Jillie. Unfortunately amputation wasn’t an option for her due to her age and arthritis in her other leg. We were able to keep her comfortable for a few short months before we had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye. It’s been over a year and my heart still aches when I think of her. She was very special.

[@mgraynap]

Their love is so pure 😭

[@annmariebrei5468]

He is doing Great!

[@pancreasnostalgia]

My next door neighbors faced a similar situation with their dog. She was an older girl but quickly adapted to using three legs. Best wishes for Cas.

[@michaelar9954]

cas i love you so freaking much, i hope you don't get cancer again you seem to be adapting to your leg amazingly and don't worry jessi, anyone who's seen season 1 of "The Dragon Prince" knows that animals that have four can learn to walk perfectly fine on three legs. i'm talking about you eva

[@ominoustomato]

One of my dogs had a leg removed back in December. We’re not really sure he’s noticed the leg is gone. He’s no longer able to stand up and pull things off the table, but other than that he’s moving just like he used to. He still zooms around and wrestled with his sister every day

[@eustacia03]

Poor lil guy! Glad to see he's adapting to three legged life.

[@rikardo1070]

you are all ANGELS......doin the right thing.

[@brittanybecker170]

Get well soon, little guy.

Animal wonders I love cas and all you're animals and you I hope cas is good get well cas

[@dogbirb1941]

ohh cas i hopw he is happy for the rest of his life

[@AllTheArtsy]

I was actually just wondering if Cas was alright, when you mentioned Serafina on the last video. Awwww. Good luck and good health, bb!!!

[@carschmn]

Poor sweetie! He will do fine as a tripod.

[@mairafavela4954]

I am so happy for Cas. I hope he does fantastic! 😄🤗❤🙏

[@kenj7153]

hang in there Cas!

[@eugenio5774]

poor cas! hopefully the tumor won't ever be back and he can live peacefully and healthy for the rest of his life with Seraphina. this must have been a really difficult decision to take! also, the reunion footage was so absolutely adorable!!!

[@user-vn7ce5ig1z]

Poor guy. 😢 Thankfully animals are so much more resilient than humans, so instead of wallowing for years, they get back to it almost immediately. 👍 4:24 - I think you need a couple of more "very"s. 😀

[@charles4112]

Our dog lost two toes to a benign cancer. He's a Beauceron, a breed with double dewclaws, so now we joke that he's (exaggerated sigh) normal, now. He still has all his dewclaws, but both left legs are missing a toe. He just turned twelve last May, though, and we're afraid he's reaching the end. :(

[@astaiannymph]

How do you keep track of all your animals' needs on a daily basis?

[@yeilynmcruz8817]

I'm very happy he's okay but it's hard for me to see him suffer like this 😓 but I wish cas the longest life you can provide him and I hope no more of these tumors form on his legs 😞

[@tessat338]

Yeah, I walked a little 14-year old terrier who was riddled with cancers. His front right paw was completely atrophied. The vet offered to remove the leg but there was no guarantee in that case that it would get all the cancer. He limped around on three legs and I would hold his leash in such a way to let his harness give him some support. The owners opted to treat him with medication which I gave to him in the afternoons in bits of cheese. He knew exactly how many pieced of cheese he was entitled to. He was a sweet dog but passed away last winter.

[@hollyodii5969]

Cas is a tri-pawed! Get well soon Cas!

[@SailorGamer]

Aww poor baby gut better soon Cas!

[@witherrose1566]

Genuine question; is it possible to build a leg prosthetic? Or was the leg removed too high?

[@juliusroman8616]

I assume not now, since he still doesn't have a leg even then, but I do wonder why.

[@kimchi8022]

Aw, Cas! you're lookin good little bud! I think you guys made the right medical decision :)

[@TeraTiger]

We had a cat that got out, was attacked by a great horned owl, and was dropped from ~40 feet up. He ended up surviving, incredibly, but to save him, he lost his front right leg. We were so worried that he wouldn’t be able to still jump and run properly, but after a month he had no problem bouncing up stairs, jumping on our couches, and cuddling up for pets. 3 legged animals are so resilient! I’m sure Cas is glad to be back with Sarafina ♥️♥️♥️

[@Ava22092]

Good boy Cassy!

[@RandiPoitras]

TRIPOD CAS!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@EstoyDesocupado]

It's beautiful that Even with cass problem she still has his best friend😃

[@tuttamarie48]

I am amazed at how resilient and strong he is 😍 Watching him run along with his three legs I noticed his back and tail are not straight (obviously to keep his balance). Is that going to give him back problems in the long run? Still I would pick back problems over repeated surgery any day 😊

[@itz_mahaya3932]

A beautiful fox btw i love your vids

[@FrancesBaconandEggs]

The good thing is that canines support most of their weight on their front legs, so it’s not as challenging for them to adapt to one less limb. Hope you feel better soon, buddy!

[@sweatpantsprincess3239]

yesssss so glad it was a back leg!

[@mj13713]

What a hard decision for any animal carer to make, but I definitely agree that your decision is the best in the long run. If a similar sort of issue happened to any of my animals, I would certainly make the same choice, especially as they get older and anaesthesia becomes more risky and recovery more difficult.
