23. Limbs Do Not Grow Back
Doctors and veterinarians worldwide want to emphasize a fundamental fact: amputated limbs do not grow back. Unlike some animals with regenerative abilities, such as certain reptiles or amphibians, humans and most animals can’t naturally replace lost limbs. It’s weird that vets and doctors would get asked about that.

While modern medicine has made significant advancements in prosthetics and rehabilitation, it can never fully replicate the natural function of a lost limb. Understanding the irrevocable nature of limb loss might serve as an incentive for some people to prioritize safety, take preventive measures, and seek immediate medical attention to preserve their physical well-being and that of their pets.
