I don't know if anyone has had a similar experience? I am totally gutted, my cat Chloe who was 10 years old died suddenly on Wed 17th March 2004. She had been a little down in the dumps for a couple of days so I made an appointment for her at the local vet on Wed evening. The vet examined Chloe, breathing, ears, eyes, teeth and temperature in fact nose to tail really. The vet said she was a mystery cat and could find no obvious reason for her being down, she did however give her an antiflammitory injection. I took Chloe home and she seemed fine, she ate her tea, had a saucer of milk and a few cat treats and whent out into the garden as normal. Later that evening she retired to bed, I did not notice anything strange that evening appart from her breathing which was slightly more erratic than usual, but as she was laid under the radiator I thought she may have just been a little warm. About 5 hours later she emerged from her bed with severe breathing difficulties, almost as though she was choking, she was unable to get her breath. Chloe staggered around and was foaming from her mouth making a hacking noise, she was in alot of distress and soiled herself before collapsing onto the floor. chloe let out 2 very loud meeows, unlike anything I had ever heard from her before and after the second meeow she died all within the space of around 10 mins of emerging from her bed.
I could'nt afford to have a postmortum done and I am left wondering how my Chloe died so suddenly after being given the all clear from the vet? why the anti inflamm. drug and nothing mentioned as to why she was getting it?
Replys from anyone who has had a similar experience would be greatly appreciated,also any advice on how to cope with losing a pet that after 10 years has become a loving memeber of the family and who's death has left a huge emptyness in my life.
