Hi everyone,
I am battling with the loss of Mister , my best friend. I am also battling with my own pain surrounding how it happened. He was only 3 1/2. When I found him he was foaming / drooling. I took him into the vet. He threw up yellow. They gave him blood work. It came back very low white blood cell count, 360 blood sugar which is 3 times the normal amount, no temperature. Then he threw up green. what they did for him was IV flush and antibiotics. Should they have done more? He was only 3 and very healthy. The vet asked me to go home and look for any toxins and not to worry. To this day I have found nothing in my house, and done a lot of research to see if I have missed anything. Also, he is an inside cat. I realized tonight that the vet said that she was going to give him an x-ray. I never knew the result or if it was ever given because it was towards the end of the day and the next call he was gone. I am so mad at myself for taking the vets word for these things. I feel like if I was more educated I might have been able to save him by asking and demanding more service or answers. I mean I dropped him off at 3:30pm and dead by 7:30 am. Is there anyone out there that is a vet or doctor that can answer these questions for me? Should I go back to the vet and demand an answer? I am very concerned because if I believe that I find incompetence on any level, I will lose control with the knowledge that not only I could have done something but so could they? Does this make sense or am I just crazy to want to even know why. Does it matter why, I mean he is gone and not coming back. The only part of me that says that i have a responsibilty to my other cat to find out if there were any toxins involved. I am having a very bad day today and any thoughts would help. I just found this article. Dog and Cats owners please read! http://www.catmom.com/marina/articles/clump.html Jason -------------------- Our beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy. I miss you more and more every day that you are not here. I look at everything around the house and only think of you.
I will see you one day and bring you tons of softies, your feather, a nice stick, and a ball of paper that you can fetch. When your mom comes she will play "the claw" with you too! Come say hi to me anytime in my dreams and give me your "cackle" I would love to see you again. You saved our lives and taught us so much about love in every way We will always miss you so so much. We love you Mister. Kisses on your cheeks. Mom and DAD |
