My cat isn't using her paw after declawing. What should I do?

Question

My cat got declawed on 11/13/17, she isn’t using one of her front paws very much. However there is no swelling, redness or warmth. I don’t believe it’s an infection but I could be wrong. Any help? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 1 year old | 6 lbs

It is still quite early to see a 100% bounce back to full use of the declawed paws. Sometimes it may take several weeks to see a full recovery. I would ensure that you have plenty of pain medications and if not, contact your veterinarian so that more can be prescribed. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
