Hi all, I'm new to this community but I had a question about the recent loss of my beloved 4 year old cat. He received a neuter operation, and rabies shot 6 days ago (yes, I waited quite a while but he was not spraying and was indoor only. He received FeLV shot and some others when I got him at 8 weeks), and before that was given a physical and a clean bill of health.
Four days after the neuter, I noticed he was under my bed for the whole day, refusing his treats, water, and was breathing in a strange way. I called the vet and they said to just watch him. The next morning I see him resting his head on his water bowl and realized something was seriously amiss. I took him to the same vet, and they discovered his body temp to be 90, far below the 102 he was at the physical a few days prior. An x ray revealed widespread fluid in his lungs, and they started him on aggressive antibiotics immediately. He died the next morning.
Does anybody here think that the procedures had anything to do with this? He wore a cone for a few days to prevent any licking of the wound, which was healing fine when I brought him back into the vet.
