sneezy kitten2007-11-25 12:25:27

my kitten just came home friday from being declawed, ever since he's been sneezing very badly and has one runny eye. He's not stuffed up or congested.would the stress of surgery cause a cold.or could it just be allergies?

Answers:

he could have had a weakened immune system before surgery(which would have been undetectable) and the stress of the surgery has caused him to show some symptoms. I would stay on top of it so it doesn't get too bad. Contact your vet for some antibiotic etc.

I got a kitten from the pound and he was doing the same thing. I took him to the vet and he had a cold. He took one pill a day for a week and was fine.

I'd give the veterinarian a call, just to see if maybe it could be something to do with being under anesthesia. The cats at our clinic stay in house for 3 days after declawing. How long was yours in there for? Did the doctor or vet techs notice anything odd that they logged?

He should be on some kind of antibiotic also since he had surgery. See depending on what type of antibiotic, that could also take care of any possible problems.

URTI - upper respiratory tract infection.. probably exposed to germs while at the vet and the stress made it more likey to catch it.
