Lost My Kitty Today Options

[Nemo's Mommy]

I am shocked and grieving, in so much pain. I took my six month old kitten in today to get neutuered. He had been diagnosed with a heart murmer. When I went in, the vet said it would be OK. They were doing a special surgery that used less anestic and was supposed to be safer. I got the call at 10:00. Nemo had two heart attacks and died. I feel so like this is my fault, because the anesthia killed him. How do I deal with this? How do I accept this? If I hadn't got him neutuered him might still be alive... please help.

I was very hesitant to take my cats to the vet for teeth cleanings, neutering etc, and was a basket case the next time one of them had to go under anesthetic. I did however learn from the whole experience that ISO(gas) is way less dangerous for our little felines. Ketamine seems to be the drug that really is hard on their kidneys,liver and their body functions. ISO is a little more expensive but I did notice when they came home from the vet they did not show signs of being so drugged up.

Nemo was a very special little guy, and he will always be with you in spirit. I believe these four legged creatures who enter our lives, are little angels with wings. I have learned so much about love from my cats than I could from alot of human beings. They have taught me what unconditional love is.

Peace be with you
