I've honestly never heard of that medication, so I don't know what it is. If she is on pain medication, that could trigger the change in personality. Lots of times, the medication can make them tired. As long as she seems to be coming around, I would just monitor her and not worry too much. If she isn't getting better or seems to be going backwards in her recovery, then you should call the vet.

Hi, Everyone,
I have 5 cats ranging in age from 5 to 18 years of age. They have their teeth cleaned every 2 to 3 years.
All of them, even my 18 year old, are fit and feisty by the next morning.
Our veterinarian tritates the amount of anestehesia to their weight and gives them just the minimum amount necessary to work on them.
For those of you whose babies take a week to recover, I would suggest contacting another vet and talking about how much anesthesia is need & how much is used.

Thanks for the update on the recovery time, divinemslou. I've never had Gizmo's teeth cleaned before and figure that I'm with a good vet, but I'll still want to be on vacation when I have her teeth done. Then I'll follow up with the same spray I'm using as preventive medicine so she won't need it again.
There's a new picture of Gizmo on my patchwork coverlet in the photo section. She's one photogenic kitty.

Glad to hear your kitty is feeling a little better. Hopefully she will get even better.

You will want to watch her weight because she will not be as active as it is painful for them to run and play so she could become overweight further increasing the pressure on the paws.

My cat is front declawed and is the most active cat I've ever seen. She's also the first one I've seen in thirty years that was NOT overweight. It all depends on how skilfully the operation was done; Gizmo behaves exactly like a cat with claws, she even uses scratching posts!

Well first of all you should never ever get a cat declawed, would you want your finger nails ripped out I don't think so. So the reason she is the way she is is because she is in alot of pain is what I would think it is. Poor kitten I feel sorry for her. Playing for her is no fun when you don't have claws to hold onto things, cats have claws for a reason. Declawing is cruel and painful, this is just how I feel about it. If you don't want to be scratched don't get a kitten, a kitten is going to play and scratch and your going to have to deal with that. Don't torture a kitten by getting it declawed. It makes me so mad when I hear about people doing this to there cats or in your case a kitten.
