Ok sorry but Im not going into details nor will I pay any attention to those of you with nothing but negatives comments. I am getting my cat declawed tomorrow (I have thought about it-and made my decision). Im just curious about post-surgery and care of my cat. Also any personal experiences you may have had with your cat(s).
Thank you.
LOL thanks for the one good answer so far sheesh how annoying some of you can be!
Oops sorry I have a few good responses thanks!
Well firstly i’ll let you know, your going to get a lot of negative responses… but I won’t be one of those people to give you one!… I have two cats, one declawed, and one isn’t… for my first cat, i had the appointment all set up for her and everything, then I did my research, and thought it was an awful procedure and I didn’t do it… BUT.. the only reason I chose not to do it, was because she NEVER uses her claws.. not on furniture, or the other animals.
Now my other cat, who is a male, used his claws like crazy!… on the furniture, he cut my poor dogs eye open, and he cut my legs open a couple times… he’s a very sweet cat, but he just LOVED using those claws!… I was very upset that I was getting him declawed, and worried like crazy that he would be in a tremendous amount of pain… luckily, I go to a VERY good vet, and they kept him on high doses of pain killers to numb the pain, and also kept him over night. When I picked him up the next day, he acted totally normal! (he was also nuetered at the same time)… The vet sent me home with some pain meds that I had to squirt in his mouth twice a day (which he hated)… he was a little drousy for a couple days, but about a week later, he was back to his old self.. and does not act any differently.
I’m sure your cat will do just fine… just make sure you have a very reputable vet, because it is a very serious procedure.
