Lost my beloved Cat
I was just wondering if anyone has experienced this? I took my beloved cat
to be declawed because of pressure from my husband. I took him in and he was due the booster for his Cat leukemia vac. They gave it to him before or during the surgery. He started to wake up then died. They told me they thought it was his heart. I am wondering at the wisdom of giving him that vaccine just before being put to sleep for the surgery. Could that have been a factor? He was an active indoor cat with a clean bill of heath the summer before. My heart is broken and my mind is asking why did this happen. If anyone can give me some clues please help me. Thank you, Very SAD |

Luckily I have no similar experience but some wisdom on this matter.

So, no matter how healthy a cat may seem to be, you can never know if there is something that may cause an unexpected and bad reaction to medication or whatever. But once again, a vaccin given just before or during anasthesia... let me just tell you what most vets in the Netherlands think of that: I did a study which contained a part veterinarian assistant, and if I would have given a cat a vaccin just before or during anasthesia, I would have flunked my study. That just is a stupid thing to do. If I were you, I'd ask around at other veterinarian clinics about their opinion about this, and right away start looking around for the services of another veterinarian clinic. Because if I understood it right, you had just this one cat, and you should so get another. It still is the best way to overcome your grief, believe me. We're feeling with you over this sad loss. A soothing hug from Fritti, and a sweet purr and nudge with the head from Venus, Tibsy, Sabine, Cleo, Jolie, Shandy, her 7-week-old daughter Reverse, Whoopi, Bisou, Toby, Frolic & Syrius. |

Yeah I'm not too happy with him right now. He blames himself. I would have
never done it if I had not been pressured into it. I don't like the idea either. But I could not find another home for him and I didn't want to send him back outside for which I rescued him from. But if I had at least he would have still been alive. Buried him outside under the bird feeders where I first met him with his favorite ball. Part of me wants to try and get another just as close to him as I can but I know it will never be the same. Feels like I am in a nightmare that I will never wake up from. Guess with time it will get better. Hope so Thanks, Jasper Eyes "Lynx Eyes" wrote in message ... Should have declawed the damn husband and then thrown him out. "Mermaid" wrote in message ...

Thank you, Very SAD "Rise up slowly, Angel. It's hard to let you go...." Sincere sympathy. I lost my little Punkin (Long time ago) after he was neutered by an incompetent Vet. I'll bet your husband does feel guilty for wanting the kitty's toes cut off. MLB |

When you feel the time is right go to one of the cat rescue groups and
see if they have a cat or kitten that was declawed. Most of them have at least one or more that were already done, also you can go to the SPCA or Humane A.

I'm not sure if this will help or not but my vet refuses to give vaccinations during the same visit as sedation... it may just be his preference he's never said there was a medical reason for it.

I thought it was illegal to declaw cats?

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm also sorry that some people chose to
give you a hard time about the declawing, many people do it, you could just as well been having his teeth cleaned or some other procedure. I can only dread what you must be feeling right now. My kitten was recently diagnosed with cancer (feline lymphosarcoma). Since then I have been reading a lot about feline health. I was really worried about vaccinations because she is also 16 years old. She is 100% in doors. Everything I have found, and from conversations with 2 vet specialists (internal medicine and oncologist), all signs point to NO on vaccinations. The vets said her risk for getting one of the diseases was so small compared to the risk of her potential reaction to a vaccine, considering her age and cancer. This happened because from day one until forever, things will happen every day that humans cannot understand. Now that I know Kazimere and I have about 2 years left together, and not the 10 I was truly expecting, I have asked myself a thousand times, "Why?" Why does this special living creature that makes my life so wonderful have to leave? No answer can stop your heart from breaking. The only thing I can do is to be grateful that with all the millions and millions of factors affecting every tiny aspect of life, Kazimere and I found each other, on the same continent, state, city, etc. All the stars were aligned just perfectly to create the circumstances that allowed me to love her for the next 16+ years. When things like that happen, no one ever asks "Why"? So when I ask myself why she has to go, I tell myself, the same reason your life was blessed with her, and that works for me. If you need someone to talk to, you can visit my site, it's about Kazimere and what we are going through. You can email me from there, I would be happy to talk to you. I really hope this helped you. Also, try to take solace in the fact that he knew you loved him. http://kazimere.blogspot.com/ |
