My cat got declawed about 6 hours ago and got one of the bandages off. He wont sit still long enough for anyone to stop the blood flow. He is getting blood EVERYWHERE!
How do we stop the bleeding if he won't stop moving?!
HELP ASAP!
Well, if you and whoever else can't control him long enough to put a bandage on, I would suggest locking him in the kitchen or bathroom where the blood won't stain anything and will be easier to clean . It should clot naturally over time and he will lick it to keep it clean. I'm not sure if there is anything to be concerned about, so if it's been some time and the blood hasn't clotted (like 10-15min) I would get him back to the vet for a professional to rebandage him. Maybe since you just were there they'll do it for free. Good luck!
If his pressure bandage came off, he needs it back on pronto. That's what helps the blood clots stay in place. He should not be allowed to bleed like this. Throw a blanket over him, put him into his carrier, and get him to the vet ASAP! They will need to possibly clean the surgical wounds and put a new pressure bandage on. Some vets use a drop of surgical glue (super glue) to stop the blood flow. Once he's rebandaged he'll need a cone collar to prevent him from chewing at them again. If the vet will prescribe something to control the pain that will help. He's just had a serious injury - loss of the last part of each digit on both his front feet. He'll need serious care while it heals. This type of surgery is no small thing.
Your cat is probably in a lot of pain. Don't panic or seem like you need to catch him ...
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com Grab something your cat will go for immediately. Tuna, treats ... something! As soon as you see him sitting down in one position, you should slowly offer him the treat. If you seem docile, he may come. Or you could shake the food can/do whatever you use to call him for dinner. You can't help him if he's running around.
Then obviously get a bandage on it asap and call the vet! Good luck to you! Cold water gets blood stains out!
Take your cat back to the vet ... the poor, poor little thing to have to be subjected to this in the first place.
Sorry - I'm to peeved to give any advice - but my concern for the cat got the better of me ..... hold the cat and apply gentle pressure to stop bleeding ....
Let's face it, what damage can it do to you ... it has NO CLAWS!!
It doesn't sound like you took the cat to a reputable veternarian. Most vets require that cats stay overnight with a declaw so the bandages don't come off. His paws need to be rewrapped, that should solve the problem.
The vet should have kept the cat in the hospital for at least one night following surgery. The only thing you can do is call your vet and take him back in but HURRY, before he loses too much blood!
Urgh, you shouldn't declaw cats. You know it's like taking your fingers off, right?
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com Anyway, get a towel, sprinkle it with some baking powder, wrap it around the cat's paw, and get to the vet ASAP.
Call your vet immediately and try your best to control your cat and calm him down. I'd get some wet and dry paper towels or a soft wet cloth too.
why get a cat and take his only way of defending himself away???? logic out the window here .. get on with it
Call your vet now.
