Cat had to be euthanized a week after routine check-up

[TommyCat]

Hi,
I am glad you are doing better. It takes time. These little furbabies give us such unconditional love and companionship. Do you have another remaining kitty? I was sorry to hear what happened with Scitty, too, with the same clinic. I prolbably will never learn exactly what happened that day with Tommy, but like your kitty, he never recovered and was so traumatized. The Vet did E-mail me with a detailed letter with the steps she did with him and her best reasaons as to why he came home so terribly ill that day. Now I try and focus on the good memories of Tommy and the funny things he did, and I'm so grateful that I had him for 16 years. Take care of yourself.

[Squeak's Mom]

Hi,
I took my babies for their checkups the first week of October and then my Squeak became ill on about 2 weeks later. She seemed to perk up so I didn't go back to the vet right away but in a few days I knew it wasn't getting better.

I am so sorry your vets didn't have good communication with you. I feel totally lost right now without my baby but my dr has tried to go over everything with me. She did an autopsy as well since the "illness" came on so quickly and had no telltale signs of what it was.

There are so many illnesses a cat can have without symptoms showing to their parents. It is heart wrenching.

I am so sorry your baby had to go. Feel free to email me if you need to talk more. I'm grieving as well. I never thought in a million years that my baby would be leaving me so soon.
