Please help - day 2.5 post enucliation
UPDATE:
Thanks for the wishes everyone.
So the eye is fine and the pain is not coming from the eye.
Somehow she has damaged her jaw which is causing the pain. It’s misaligned.
She was in way better form this morning but the jaw is still causing pain.
She’s currently at the vets they are going to do a mild sedation and realign the jaw.
Hopefully that fixes all the pain sources and she’s able to be get in the road to recovery.
Hello our 12 week old kitten had enucliation on Thursday.
- when she came home she was sluggish obviously , but that evening once the anesthetic wore up she became her normal self
- day 1 after surgery she was full of beans, playing etc eating all was fine
- day 2 morning she was fine, eating drinking water etc
However in the evening she became lethargic, wobbly on her feet, just out of it. We brought her to emergency vet last night . Her vitals were fine. They couldn’t give an exact reason but after some liquids and pain meds she became better.
We took her home last night and she was ok.
During the night she woke up wincing a bit and tilting her head as if she were in pain.
We gave her buorenorphine (the emerge vet gave us) and half an hour later they kicked in and she was ok again
- day 3
This morning she’s again been tilting her head , seems in pain; won’t eat , but not lethargic like yesterday.
We gave her gabapentin and hopefully that kicks in soon and she’ll eat.
Is this normal part of recovery in anyone’s experience?
