A veterinarian-friend called me because a month or so after doing a laser surgery declawing on his own cat

The cat started hyperextending the carpus and is now walking plantargrade on both front limbs.  He has been talking to his veterinarian friends who say it is a very rare complication post surgery.

(Read more to see what I figure may have occurred or what can be done... but I'd love to hear back from you folks to know if you have heard of this complication and/or what you've done for it!)
