UPDATE: My lil guy....not doing well

My POOR CAT!!!!

Against every bone in my body, I got our cat declawed. We are having a baby in March & my cat is a scratcher. He claws me & FH constantly. Basically, he's an attack cat.

So, he had surgery last Thursday & he's still lying around the house. I have to CARRY him to his food & water & litter box. He refuses to walk. He will lie there & cry until one of us comes to get him. Sometimes, I even bring him a bowl of water & put it under his chin to get him to drink.

I called the vet & I have to bring him back in tonight to make sure he doesn't have an infection. They said he should have been back to his old self already.... MY POOR LIL GUY!!!!

ETA:
we went to the vet last night & she basically sent me home with pain killers for him. This morning, I knew he wasn't right. I stayed home from work today to be with him. He threw up 4x & was clearly very sick.
About 8 pm tonight, I found him hiding under the bed & he was limp & panting, I rushed him to the hospital. They had to do CPR! They inserted a feeding tube. They have him on IV antibiotics & fluids. He's in the ICU! They admitted him & warned me hemay notmake it thru the night. I am so upset. WHY didn't the vet last night catch this???? I am hysterical crying. My poor lil guy. He's only 5 years old

How old is your cat??



He's 5

we went to the Cat Hospital tonight. They put him on painkillers & an antihistimine that has a side effect of stimulating appetites. Hopefully it'll help

MY POOR LIL GUY!

Awww..... It takes them a little longer to recover from declawing when they're older. Kind of like how getting your tonsils out when you're older has a longer healing time.
I'm sure that's all it is! I hope your kitty get better!!!

My cat was murdered

I brought him to the vet Thursday night....she said he was 'milking it' & that I should stop babying him as he recovered from his declaw surgery.

Friday night I brought him to the ER. He died Saturday. Apparently he had an INFECTION from the surgery & he was septic. His organs were shutting down. He died yesterday. He was only 5.
