Sleepy Kitten--Please help

Hi everyone

Please help me. I have a 6 month old male kitten, whom I bottle fed since he was 1 week old. He's very playful and never gives me any problems. Well, Friday morning, he got declawed and neutered. I brought him home Saturday morning and he laid down with me for most of the afternoon. He ate and drank normally though. I changed his litter to Feline Pine, which was recommened to me by the vet, because of the declawing--well he peed in it a few times yesterday, but then he pooped right outside the litter box. Then this morning, he kinda got upset with me because it seemed like he couldn't cover up his poop--so I got rid of it right away. Well, now he's ok--he's a very adaptable cat, but he's been sleeping the whole day away, which he never does--especially when I'm home with him. Please help--I'm really concerned.

Thanks

Jessica

Thanks for the help. The vet sent him home with some kind of pencillan for cats. He's taking that as directed. He threw up this morning and he's still kinda just lethargic. I'm taking him in this afternoon--as of tomorrow, I start a new job, and he'll be home all by himself for almost 10 hours; also, b/c he's still a kitten, when no one's home, he has to stay in one room all day.

Hi everyone and thanks. Just to let you know, I took Ozzy to the vet today and he's doing really good. He was playing a little tonight; and ready to be home by himself tomorrow. Thanks for all your suggestions. Jessica
