I took my cat to the vet because of a large bump on his head. They said it was an abscess, probably from an altercation with my other cat. They anesthetized him, drained the pus, gave him a shot of depo medrol, and sent him home with some clindamycin drops.
Anyway, long story short, I noticed after taking him out of his carrier that his back right foot was knuckling under like crazy. He could not walk on it without tripping and dragging it and nearly falling over. I figured he was still groggy. However, eleven hours later, there's no improvement.
I have dealt with my fair share of post-anesthesia cats, and I know lethary and wobbiliness is routine. However, I've never seen anything like this. Is this something I should worry about? The vet is closed tomorrow, so I can't call. Thanks.
