Has anyone had the problem of declawing a cat and then the cat bleeding to death three days after surgery? My kitten went to the vet on friday to be nuetered and declawed, (my first experience declawing a cat) he did fine all day friday, sat, and sunday in the daytime. No complications, no excessive bleeding or infections. He was eating well and was relatively calm for being at the vet. Then Sunday night after the vet left he was apparently spooked and freaked out. The vet came in monday morning and found him laying in a puddle of blood. Caius had broken open all his wounds and died. The vet said that his litter and papers in his cage were shredded and spilled everywhere (as though he was severely spooked, something scared the crap out of him) and that he had apparently tried to claw his way out of the cage, tearing open his wounds. Has this ever happened to you or anyone you know? My vet said that in the 25 years of his practice he had never had this happen or seen it happen to any other cats. Am I being fed a line or is this really a rare thing? I am very upset at losing my baby, and was leary about having it doen in the first place, I am just unsure of how to feel or respond to this.
Thank you for your help,
Tonya
