this question is not for trixie but for a feral kitty. I took him to clinic yesterday after trapping him due to an injured leg. had an abscess from a cat bite and was given convenia,buprenorphine, praziquantel, bravecto on top of being neutered & vaccined for rabies & Fvrcp-C. it’s only been a day & he’s recovering in a large crate in my garage.All these meds & vaccines combined probably would make him not feel well? he doesn’t move around a lot but is Eating a little. normal for his situation?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sometimes it can take some time for cats to recover from anesthesia and administration of these medications together so that could be a reason why it has been taking him longer than expected to recover. If he is eating and otherwise doing well, it may be ok to monitor him for a bit longer. However, if he worsens or by tomorrow he has not improved, he should be evaluated by his veterinarian for reevaluation. Good luck and have a great day!
