Please, I need help. First, let me start by telling my situation. I have two cats, my oldest is 14 months, and my second is 11 months. Both of my cats are males. I am married with two children, plus my furry babies. I found out two years ago that I couldn't have anymore kids, and I was deeply troubled. After I found my cats, I felt complete. I love my cats like I love my own children. After I took in my second baby, a month later, there were problems. My younger cat and older wrestle, but it gets out of hand. The younger cat clawed my older cat through the eye several times, and I have had him back and forth to the vet, with ointment and all the treatments. the vet said if it continues, he could loose his eye, or vision. Neither cat is aggressive toward humans, but I don't want either of them to be hurt. My vet suggested declawing, and before anyone starts in on me, I know. I did not want to do it, that is why I waited so long to do it. I tried various different treatments and things before I went through with it. Finally, I gave in. I do not want either of my cats to be hurt, nor would I EVER give either of my cats up, they are like my children. I just want to say that I would never again, under any circumstances declaw another cat. I guess in the future I will have to remain petless if the situation arises, but I could not give one up for the other. My cats had the procedure done four days ago, and I have cried everyday since. I have to take my oldest back to the vet in the morning, because his right paw is swollen. Please, only kind suggestions and words, I don't need anyone jumping my case, or telling the wrong I have done. I am aware, but I can't go back, and either way, I can't give up one of my babies, I love them SO MUCH. Anyone that reads this that is on the fence thinking about declawing, please; do not go through with it if you can help it. Cats are stoic animals, but I can tell when my babies are hurting. Please, just know that however much they say it is not a big deal, or they will heal up just fine; They might be okay, but getting there is a long, painful process. Or, there could be other complications.
