I am ashamed I giggled.

And you have an evil streak that has been exposed. :caning:

cuteness!

i am only human

but, in all seriousness, it's just incredible what they can do now prosthetics-wise for animals... beaks for eagles, tail fins and flukes for dolphins and whales, false legs for horses, even hamsters and tortoises get a look-in!

 

[butters]

aw bless! happy little daisy!

So much cuteness!

i know it's horrendously expensive and many won't ever be able to afford to do this for their pets; others may not feel it right. however, if anyone watches Supervet they'll know that the work done developing these ops/prosthetics for animals crosses over into the human arena, too, and lots has been learned by both sides, techniques adopted that boost the development in both.

See Harry? Told ya.

flipper would be proud

I find it's amazing how well animals adapt to prosthetics. Way shorter time to get a dog to walk with prosthetics than a human. I suppose having four legs helps. Walking on two feet is actually a very hard thing to do. Even walking for us is actually a controlled fall forwards. Still considering they are 'dumb' animals you would almost expect them to just chew them off. Very adaptable and naturally happy things animals are. Bastards!

Never heard of Suoervet. I don't think I could watch it.


3D printing technology is amazing. I shudder to think what bad applications it could be used for.

• e-NABLE 3D printed prosthetic hands cost approximately $50 compared to traditional devices priced in the thousands of dollars.

That is the best wheel they could come up with? Was the vet hospital next door to Home Depot?

 

[Saint Peter]

Yeah.

We can print that.
