Hello. My 16 year old cat passed away. Im still in pain but also "what ifs" are eating my brain. So I needed to talk to a vetenarian.
My cat was vomiting so often lately, like 4-5 times a day right after eating mostly. He started to lose also appetite so we took him to a vet. Other that these problems, he was looking completely healthy.
Vet did some tests, only the fpl was abnormal so he diagnosed him as pancreatitis. His treatment was iv fluid therapy, cerenia, butorphanol and Baytril antibiotics. Right after he took these meds, we came home and he was looking so unhealthy, irritable, like drunk, with also very rapid breaths. I felt like these medicines are not ok for him but I didnt have a choice. He took them for 3 days. After that, his breathing was never so ok. I dont remember if his breathing was abnormal before all these, I didnt pay attention but after those iv meds, it was so visible. After weeks his vomitings continued with ups and dows, one day after eating he got a seizure like thing, then he lose so much weight in weeks, breathing got worse, he got lethargic, in the end he got another crisis with panting and drooling, the they put him to ICU, diagnosed him with fluid in lungs and heart failure, gave him O2 and diuretics and some heart medicines, the he got embolus to his leg, days after he passed away...
Now, I need to know if my cat died from pancreatitis, old age or misdiagnose and wrong treatment? Did he develop heart failure and respiratory distress because of the medicines and fluids they gave to him? Would it be better if I didnt bring him to vet and wait? My soul is so restless and I hope you answer. Thank you.
