Thanks everyone
The vet gave him something for pain while he was in the vet office, but they didn't give us anything to give him regularly
but I checked this morning to see if we really had to keep him in that cage and we don't! Thank God. We can let him walk around the house, but since little miss Lucie thinks that cats are her personal toys, we are going to put him in the bathroom when my little fur butts are running around the house. We just have to make sure he doesn't get outside.
