My foster boy was neutered 12 days ago. Everything seemed fine. Yesterday he became antisocial and I questioned if he was eating. By evening I spotted some drainage at sutgical site. After looking him over he ran under a chair, that's where I found him this morning. Very lethargic, and looking terrible. I checked out his wound and it was 2 very large openings. Rushed him to the vet. First vet thought he had a deep infection that worked its way out and he dehisced. She planned on surgery to clear necrotic area and place a drain. I got a call 2 hours later from second vet (who did surgery) and she thinks it is 2 separate issues. She gave him antibiotic shot and oral antibiotics. They sent a culture off but will take a week. He will be hospitalized for monitoring until at least Friday. They decided wounds. Needed to be left open. I'm very worried about this guy. His world has been upside down. He came in emaciated and full of arms, fleas, mites.
Anyone have similar situation. My gut says he is critical at this time. He's lost a pound in the last 2 days (from 9.8 to 8.3) he looks worse now than when taken from owner from neglect. I don't trust this vet, any turn for the worse and he is being rushed to my main vet
I did call her and she advised that I not bring cat #2into clinic for check up and suggested all cats be separated and closely monitored.
Cat #3 goes to specialty clinic tomorrow for tooth extraction and neuter and I am beyond worries.
These are my first cats, could use lots of help!
