My beautiful and sweet 8 years old cat Indi, always so strong and healthy, suddenly was losing weight but was not a big worry because he was a little overweighed. Then I noticed that did not want to eat and was drinking very little water. On December 24th took him to a new vet- a reasonable large and very busy office-. (our vet. was with cancer and not working) We needed to drop Indi and wait outside. Contacts will be done only by phone. This vet said she did a simple blood test, found and infection for which as she said applied an antibiotic injection plus she rehydrated him. She told me did not know …where the infection was coming from but said that he had flees and recommended to immediately apply a treatment. I asked her to do it right there at that moment and she did. After about an hour plus later and after paying $$$, they delivered Indi and a box of Cheristin for cats with 5 remaining topical solution treatment to me.
Immediately I noticed that the topical treatment was applied right over his head but a little going in direction to his neck and the area was wet.
From there Indi remained quiet, eating truly little but by December27, 2020, Indi was starting to get better, by December 29, Indi was eating drinking and going around much better. On December 30th, I woke up at 6am and when I left my room found Indi dead. His room was with vomit and diarrhea. and evidently, he had run away when this happened because he was dead out of his room and near my door. I cried inconsolable. Still today heartbroken. My poor baby died alone. The vet said on the phone that she did not know why he died but probably he had had a heart issue. (even though never we noticed anything different and nobody never told me about it. My real veterinarian was the best human being and professional vet that we ever met.
My question to you, so loving people from TheCatSite, is: if somebody went trough a similar situation, like heart with sudden death or because Cheristin or anything else that would help me to understand better and give some comfort to my grieving.
Thanks,
Susan
