Our Male cat Mac had one of his back leg amputated last Thursday due to a infection(supposedly triggered by weak immune from fatty liver) that started eating his leg away.
He was surprisingly doing well for the next 3 days after surgery which included lots of purring and also able to walk. We gave him pain medication on Friday and Saturday and then decided to stop as his liver is still healing. From Sunday onward, we started giving him CBD oil as we were worried about him being in pain.
Yesterday things changed and he become very lethargic, disoriented, wobbly and kept falling when trying to walk. He just lays in one place and seems very out of it. He stopped purring completely and his voice is lot weaker. We were hopeful things would improve today, but nothing has changed.
I am now wondering if CBD oil had anything to do with this change or its the cumulative effect of everything he has gone through in the last 2 months when he stopped eating. He has been sedated at least 8 to 9 times (for blood work and other things) and under anesthesia 3 times( 2 times for feeding tube surgery and one for leg amputation). He also struggles with major constipation and we have to give him different types of supplements and medication to make sure he is able to poo.
This last 2 months have been very cruel and exhausting where when we start seeing good results and some hope, there is another setback and we are back to square one.
We feel constantly anxious and worried. Please help us understand what could be causing this sudden change in him when he was actually doing better right after surgery.
We will also call out Vet tomorrow.
Thanks in advance.
