Any special care tips for a declawed cat? Sensitive toes normal?
Any special care tips for a declawed cat? Sensitive toes normal?
Our newest addition to the family has had his front toes removed (yeah, declawed, but we all know what that means). He seems to be really sensitive about them and I am not sure if there is any real problem or if I am over thinking things a bit. The only time it seems to bother him is if I am touching the tips where his claws would normally be retracted or extend from. Yes, I know -- stop touching them then. I did it once on accident, a second time to verify the suspected behavior/result, and a third time to confirm. Each time he placed his mouth on me fully (not a nip, he opened wide), but left nothing more than a bit of saliva. The veterinary technician said it is normal for there to be sensitivity and I realize scar tissue can be sensitive forever, but still. Any concerns I should be aware of? -- -Lost Remove the extra words to reply by e-mail. Don't e-mail me. I am kidding. No I am not. |
