Cat Learns to Walk for First Time With Leg Braces

Athena the cat was learning to walk with her leg braces for the first time. She was diagnosed with Feline Radial Hypoplasia, which caused her front legs to be twisted. A veterinary orthopedic surgeon and animal rehab specialist helped Athena's owners by giving her leg braces. Although her owner was told she would take weeks to get used to the braces, Athena proved everyone wrong by making her first steps immediately after putting the braces on, incentivized with some tasty treats.
