I can see though that my opinion seems to be in the minority here. |
having a cat declawed is in no way comparable to the pain of a neuter. Yes, declawing hurts, and it hurts like a bitch. There is no way i would ever skip out on pain meds after this procedure because as a tech i've seen how painful they are right after surgery. Would i have it done to my cats tho, yes, if it was needed. They are in pain for a few days but with the right medication they do better. this is not a declawing thread tho so back to the pain of a neuter. The dogs do feel pain but i believe its only at their incision site becuase when they move around it tugs at the skin, this is why slight pain is good. if they feel pain when moving around this will keep them settled.
