My 2 yo male cat Taj had an accident with a door that resulted in a 3 inch laceration on his tail. He was sedated and was given 6 stitches. The vet also had to shave the last half of his tail for the stitches. Taj is a long hair. This Maine Coon but a little smaller. Since the bandage has come off and the stitches have been removed he is super scared and mad at his tail. If I don’t have his cone on he will look at his tail and either hiss and try and run away or he attacks it. With his cone on he just lays as flat as possible and doesn’t move. He was a preening young stud who strutted around and was the king of the house. Now he’s letting the dogs bully him and freaks out over the littlest thing. Anyone have experience with such a severe behavioral change after injury? The vet has given me compose for now but I’m not seeing much of an improvement.
