On February 7th around 23:00 hrs., a day that I'll never forget, my dear kitty "Misha" died after a terrible agony. Sometimes I think that her Vet didn't do the best to save her and I use to have a terrible feeling of impotence.
I'm gonna tell you what exactly happen:
On February 6th around noon, my mom found Misha on the outside yard, right in front of our house, she was lay down on the ground next to the rosebushes, unable of moving, she picked her up and took her inside. I saw her and she was so fragile but alive. It looked like someone or something had beat her. I took her inmediatly to her Vet, but He wans't there, there was only his assistant, I've never trusted on him, but He was the only "expert" there. He injected her an anticoagulant and antiinflammatory. He said we have to wait to know how she react to meds. I was really worried because of a strange fluid that was leaking out from her bottom. I couldn't take her again to the Vet six hours later because I'd to go to work but my mom did it. After I got back home I spent the all night with her. She used to climb by my window and sleep on my bed, that night was the last night she was on my bed, We couldn't sleep, She moved her body from side to side, I thought she was feeling some pain because of the bruises and I really thought she was going better because she was trying to walk and moving. Next day, February 7th I took her tho the Vet again, this time her real Vet was there, He said she had internal bleeding but He didn't know how to answer me when I ask him what else could be done to make her feel better. He just only gave me the paper to take her to the lab and take the X-ray, while I was there, waiting, she started to leak out again, then waiting, then I got the results and took them back to her Vet, She had only a simple fissure on her left leg. The vet injected the same meds as the day before and then again, "we have to wait... maybe that bleeding is only because of some few broken vessels"... That was all... I got back home and had to left her with my mom because I had to work... that was the last time I saw her alive, If I'd have knew...
The same day It was my best friend's wedding (Diana), so I have to go out early from my job to go there, It was Diana's happiest day so I (as her friend) supposed to be really happy, I was having an enjoyable time 'till... around 23:30 hrs. my mom called me and told me that Misha had just passed away and then I was in shock for around 5 minutes 'till one of my friends brought me a glass of water, when I could overcome to that terrible new, I had to say goodbye to my friends and from Diana and her husband too. I got back home and found her dead, laying on the couch, that's a picture I'll never take out of my mind. My mom was really upset, she saw her die and was with her all the time. Still now, I can imagine how my mom was feeling for watching her die in front of her without could do nothing more than that.
Since then, I haven't come back to that Vet... I still have my "sublime", a beautiful 7 years old dog and I don't trust on that vet anymore so I was looking for another one. As I said in the begining, I still have a terrible feeling that could have done something else to save her. However, I think It's even worst who killed Misha, who beat her so hard 'till causing her internal bleeding. It's really hard for me to believe that someone could be capable to do such a terrible crime. My misha didn't like to go out of the house, she (as many cats) usually was afraid from strangers and only used to go out to the front yard for five minutes because of the rosebushes. She really loved them.
During the first month after her dead we couldn't think on anything else. Now, with my mom use to remember the happy moments we shared with her. I still miss her and I know I'll keep missing her sometimes.
Thanks for reading this sad story, It's just a heartbreaking truth

It's really hard to get out of your mind the instant when you see someone you love suffering such a terrible pain... I know what you feel, believe me... that'll never get away... but you must go on and try to think as positive as you can, you have to think only happy times, and remember it with joy. Bradley deserves more than sad tears... don't forget that!

OMG What a sad story...! I say prayers for you that your precious Misha let you know that she is in a better place now...and happy. She sends her love to you with her memories...but she wants you to only remember the happy times...that way you will smile again and keep her close to your heart...always. Again I am so very sorry for your loss..I had a similar incident...I will post a discussion about my dear Strawberry that I lost suddenly in 1979.

I'm sorry you lost your kitty, but I hope you don't blame your vet. They are there to try and save lives and your cat could have had something wrong with her that was easily treated. I'm sure they did the best they could.

My advice to you, however, is if you don't feel comfortable around any member of your vet staff, you need to find a new vet. As you've learned, you need to trust them in an emergency.
