Took my cat Bubby in for a huge abscess on his leg from a cat bite. They drugged him, drained it and gave him antibiotics, and a bandage leg. He's a 6 year old male, btw. Obviously he's a little loopy still but there's a few of things I'm wondering about.
1- The vet did not specify how long his bandaged leg needs to stay on. I asked but they didn't say (I was the last one there so they must have wanted to get rid of me). He is pretty annoyed by it and it's wrapped around his entire leg from top to bottom making it difficult for him to move around.
2- I noticed that his third eyelid on one eye started to swell up and started draining shortly after I brought him home. I wonder what that is about? Reaction to the medication?
3- I tried to feed him a tiny bit but it immediately made him sick. He wants to eat, but his stomach disagrees. When should he be able to keep food down?
4- I've noticed that he seems to be dropping poo without meaning to go. Is that a common side effect of the anesthesia?
If anyone has some knowledge to share on these issues, Bubby and I would appreciate it! :smile2:
