Hello,
I am new to the forum and hope I am posting in the appropriate category. I am totally confused right now and hope someone can offer some help.
My cat got Hit by a car last week. I saw it happen, but fortunately he appeared to just get clipped a little on his rear end. He did not appear in too much distress, so I made him as comfortable as possible and he slept through the night. The next day he was limping and off his food, so I brought him to the vet. He felt him all over, said that nothing was broken. He administered a shot of tramadol and I brought him home. As soon as I got him home, he began eating a drank a whole bowl of water. He was still limping a little, but seemed okay. A couple of days went by and he started to hide in the closet and began sneezing non stop. His breathing also seemed a little labored. I let him outside to use the bathroom, and he would not come back into the house. Today I located him, but he was in pretty bad shape. He was having a hard time breathing and his eyes and nose were full of discharge. I carried him inside, but he passed away this evening. I cannot figure out if his death was due to the injury or something else as he appeared fine except for the limping on his back leg. He did suffer with alergies. Could this have been a reaction to the tramadol? I apologise for the long-winded post, but any help would be most appreciated. Thanks, Kerry.

Ditto, I thought the same exact thing.
