Does anyone have experience with needing to isolated their cat after surgery. Or specifically, a cat's behavior with it?
Tomorrow is Sam's last day of isolation after having surgery six weeks ago. I'm happy to let him back out with the rest of the pack and to give him more room to roam. And this may be a moot point in asking since tomorrow is the last day... but I'm just worried. For the passed two day (and some points during the other five weeks), Sam just seems... depressed. He has some joint issues in his front legs that the vet is planning on addressing in two weeks and he's been scratching his ears a lot (ever since I gave him new flea medication), but he seems to not be in pain. But he just doesn't want to do anything. He's eating and drinking and going to the bathroom, but that's about it. He just seems bored and... depressed.
Is that a thing? I mentioned it to my vet once, but he kind of brushed the thought off.
Has anyone experienced this with their cat? I just wonder if I should be more concerned (which is to say I'm already concerned, always) or if this is something that will go away when I let him back out and back to his normal routine.
