I do agree with you however vets who do not explain the potential problems are also responsible than naive owners like this lady who just declawed on vets advice (from the sound of it)

Remember we need to educate those who declaw, hopefully this lady having experienced the problems first hand will vow to not declaw any other cats in the future.

Personally, if she's not willing to care for this poor cat, she should consider finding him a loving furrrever home with someone who's willing to make that commitment.
Problem is who wants to adopt a pooing cat which cries all night...She would be very lucky to find a new owner willing to take on this poor troubled cat.

This is why it is so important to see if the problems can be resolved by a vet.

Though I am at a loss as to why she does not want to take poor Oliver to the vets...that is beyond me.

If someone told me my cat could be in pain, I would be straight down to the emergency vets if I had to hock all my belongings to afford it.

I hope Oliver is taken to the vets soon and I hope BTP posts an update on him very soon.
