post.op cat declawed

Question
my cat was declawed 2.5 weeks ago. Recently I have noticed a foul odor from her paws. There are no signs of infection or drainage. Shows no signs of pain. Has finished ABT. Is this unusual.

Answer
Hi Peggy,

You've written to me, but I'm a dog expert, not a cat expert.

I can tell you that cats have special scent glands on their paws, maybe she's having a problem with her scent glands. Even though you aren't seeing any swelling, discoloration, or discharge, your cat still may be having a yeast infection infection, since those can be pretty smelly.

You should call your vet's office (the real experts here) and see what they suggest.

Best of luck,

Patti
