>>294329 From professionals (Veteranarians, not people who "work for a vet") who have done studies on it involving hundreds of cats, thousands of cats over the course of multiple studies. Also, I've had it happen. Our cat was a very, very sweet and affectionate cat. We got her declawed and she turned into a vicious monster, litterally, over night. If you got within 3 or 4 feet of her she would attack you. We finally had to put her down a little more than a year after the surgery because she bit my niece and she had to get 13 stitches. For 3 years the cat was a lovable, cuddling, affectionate feline who's only problem was scratching at shit. Decalwed her and she went batshit crazy within 24 hours. There were no complications post-op. After bringing her to 4 other vets over the course of a year they all said that her paws looked fine and the surgery was perfect.
I wish I had further researched declawing and its possible side effects before I got the surgery instead of just listening to the vet telling me how much of a "routine" surgery it was. I would never, ever do it again for any reason. Soft paws all the way.
