Ditto - Excessive grooming, licking, biting or scratching a body part is a pain indicator. 

Can you see any irritations other than the missing fur? Tender to touch? Did Pablo do that before on the bad paw?

Is he still on his pain meds? If not add it back in and see if it settles & call or text your vet & let them know. If there is anything to take a picture of and send that would be helpful since you are so far out.

Eating, drinking using the litter box ok? Any more seizures or any other issues?

I don’t think he should be though because he doesn’t walk much at all

Is Pablo not up on three I just assumed in the other posts he was?

Let us know, please!

Feel better Pablo!

  

Hello! No it just looks a bit red from where the hair came out. He used to pull hair on his chest if he was really itchy..? Could that be it? No he’s never pulled hair anywhere but his chest..

yes he’s still on medicam 5ml once in the morning 2 days on 2 days off.

hes still eating,drinking,and using the litter (with help).

im not sure if I’d exactly call it on all 3 haha.. he’s been trying but only makes it about 4-6ft max right now:/. I’m not sure really what I can do.. I was also just talking to Jackie because Pablo’s scab is coming off but I can’t tell if the end is trying to reopen or if it’s just from draining?

 I would watch the area very close and don't let him go after it. 

Can you send your vet pictures of the incision? You can post here or on Ask a Vet forum.

Does Pablo have a cone on? Has he been able to get to the incision at all?

Is that his med dose since he has been home? 

  

Yes we’ve been watching it it only started to look like that this am.

yes I’ll try to get my dad to send a picture when he gets back he just ran to the store:)

no Pablo doesn’t get coned but there’s always someone awake with him and he just lays becide us and sleeps or lays with us and eats. The incision doesn’t smell or anything (jackie had told me to check but I also sent her a picture and she said it looked fine). No Pablo hasn’t been able to get to his incision because someone’s always with him and his back end usually has a blanket on it or he’s wrapped like a baby (I’ve done it to him since he was a kitten haha and he passes right out and doesn’t wake up till he’s unwrapped).

yes that’s been his dose since he came home and yesterday he finished his antibiotics from before surgery.

I am a little curious about over grooming but that doesnt seem to be the case. The other rear paw is a bit irritated, but it's not in a place general to flea bites. 

Recommend showing pictures of paw to vet. ?stress? Possibly pain, but just started so unsure. 

He's been pretty chilled, I'm a little worried about the paw that he's pulling fur out of. Doesn't seem to be bothering it now. Just unusual.

❤️❤️❤️

  

Yes it has some red marks where the fur cam out:/ I’ve put some of his aloe cream on it so hopefully it will soothe it if it is itchy..

he’s only licked it once today but if I catch him trying to do it again I’m going to ask the vet because that is odd for Pablo.. yes he’s been calm hasn’t been acting different, still eating, drinking, ipusing the litter. I wonder if it could be a pain symptom though..?
