Hi everyone,
I am so drained and depressed this morning. I want to call off work so bad but I have used so much time off already... Shmee was not like himself at all this morning. He didn't want to get up off his chair to eat, it was kind of cold this morning and he was bundled up so I just thought he might not want to get up so I brought his food to him. He ate it all, but towards the end he started to growl a little... thought that was weird, made me concerned so I started to pet him and he swatted at me and hissed a little. He has NEVER been mean to me. Except last night at the vet.... He gets his Desmopressin shot after his AM and PM meals, well he wouldn't even let me touch him so I backed off. His old self is so lovey and my best friend. I am so beat down...
Some possibilities I'm thinking....
Did he see the shot and just not want me to poke him? He has meowed a little for this shot before.... I am wondering if it stings. But I came back without the shot and tried to love him and he was still totally mean and didn't want me to touch him.
Is he remembering last night at the vet and has become traumatized?
Is he in pain? His last gaba was yesterday at 4 o'clock for the 6 o'clock vet appointment. The vet said I can stop with the Gaba since he has been doing good, to see if he is still in pain if he comes off of it.
Is this a new side effect of his new personality after this surgery?
I miss my old cat. All I keep thinking this morning is I wish I did not do this surgery. I feel so bad for him and I want my (seemingly) healthy, lovey cat back. I am wondering if I did more harm than good. I can't stop crying and I don't want to work.
