My male outdoor cat got in a fight with a stray cat about a week ago. We noticed he had a horrible cut on his face and just watched him for a few days. He recently disappeared for 2 r 3 days and just popped back up today and couldn't close his mouth could barely meow wasn't eating and his face had huge open wound like it got worse. I called my vet and was able to bring him in this morning at 1030. They said his fever was 105.5 and it had turned into a abscess. So they kept him and put him under cleaned and drained it out. The vet called me about a hr and a half later said he was done but it was worse then he thought. His muscle had died in his face due to trauma and they had to remove part of it and all the dead meat and skin around it. They kept him till 4 this afternoon and I was able to to go get him. He's been home now since 4 he's drinking water but not really eating he's still really out of it can't walk r stand up. Should he still be this loopy almost 12 hrs after surgery??? His right front leg is also now 2 times bigger then his left it feels like a bunch of floid. Could that just be from where they might of had his IV r could it be a allergic reaction to something r something I should worry about? He's a older cat so someone told me it maybe take him a little longer to come around and the meds Wear off and him start moving around r trying to eat.
