Axl; The Worlds Most Wonderful Cat, Died from being neutered. Options

[Axl]

I can't get past this. Today is day 3. I took him for what EVERYONE says is the right thing to do. And he died from it! My pooor sweet baby. He was only 10 months old, adopted him when he was 6 weeks old, and at a time in my life when I needed him more than he needed me. I still need him. I arranged the neutring through the Humane Society. It was free and at a vet I had to drive over an hour to get to. In addition, while I had Axl, I adopted Rose. I only adopted Rose so Axl would have a friend. I had her spayed the same day as she was approaching 6 months. On the Monday following the procedure I called t he vet because it appeared Axl still had one testicle. They TOLD me they only remove one and do a similar procedure as to a vasectomy to disable the other. Axl was slow moving, but eating and drinking. Evertime I picked up Rose, she would pee. So, we make it through the week, Axl appeared to be better, (except he was a one testicle cat), Rose was still peeing sometimes, then Saturday morning I found Axl, laid out, stiff and dead. It was the worst thing ever.

I wrapped him and said my goodbyes, and still can't stop crying if he enters my mind.

I don't even want Rose. I am taking care of her, but she was Axl's cat.

I called the vet today and told him, and he said NOBODY would have told me that only one testicle was removed. And he had never had a cat die from being neutered. Mine is dead.

I am beside myself. I halfway want to give Rose away. And I am so angry at the injustice. We are preached at to get our pets neutred, and mine dies from it.

I miss him so much, I can't believe he is never coming back. He was one cool cat with the longest tail you'd ever see.

Hi, Axl, thank you so very much for sharing with us how you're doing. Rose is very frightened right now, and I am so very sorry that she managed to escape from the security of her home. I'm hoping she will find her way back to you, and that you will be reunited with one another safe and sound.

Axl, it doesn't matter if it's our first experience with the physical loss of a companion or our fiftieth - - each experience is unique because each earthly journey we share with a companion is unique. Please know you and your prcecious Rose are in my thoughts and prayers, Axl, and that we are here for you to help you in every way we can.

Peace and blessings,
