When I had Adora's front paws declawed, it was like there was no pain at all when I got her home. I gave her the pain medicine as ordered for 3 days but she was her happy little self. So I was just so traumatized to see her like this. I had a terrible night. I made a bed for her on my floor at the end of my bed, which she knows my room is usually a big no-no. She slept well and jumped on my bed about 6 AM. She still won't eat or drink but she let me take her dressing off. She growled at me the whole time but made no move to bite me. I have to take my Mom in to have pacemaker put in this morning so I will make sure she is on her bed on the floor just in case she wants to eat. I would never do anything to maime her. I love her to much.
