Summary: Advances in information technology and recent national directives have the potential to support dramatic improvements in health care. Two key components are the implementation of functional electronic health record (EHR) systems and widely accepted, evidence-based clinical performance measures for physicians.
In 2009, The Paw Project led the successful campaigns to legally ban declawing of domestic cats in 7 more California cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Burbank, Santa Monica, Berkeley, Beverly Hills and Culver City.
Declawing is the surgical removal of the nail and the bone of the third digit of the cat's toe. Your pet will need to be anesthetized for this procedure. Patients for a declaw surgery are dropped off at hospital between 8:00am and 8:30am the morning of the scheduled surgery.
