I had to put my cat down last night. It was an emergency decision. I came home from work and she was very sick and was having coordination problems and dizziness. I took her to the emergency vet and she was extremely anemic and the treatment to fix it and find out why was very expensive. So it was a rough night. But I guess the real reason I am writing is for advice. I have another cat and the vet had mentioned the possibility of several types of things that my other cat could also have been exposed to such as FIV( however I read through that and I doubt thats what she had, and she was tested negative when we adopted her), and FELV,( which sounds plausible). WHat is the likelihood that my other cat has this and I should have him checked as well? Anyone been through this before. Niether of them went outside ever and they were both negative when I adopted them. My other cat seems fine, no symptoms of distress except looking for Trinity in the house. Thank you for your imput. I just know that I couldn't go through this experience again with my other cat anytime in the near future, it would be too much.

I'm so very sorry for your loss


I'll light a candle for Trinity to help her over the bridge, but if you post again in the health forum you should get some answers to your question

Rest In Peace sweet baby.

Also, I would take the other cat in for a Vet check just to be one the safe side.

again - sorry for your loss...
it's always hard when it's sudden. talk to your survivor about what happened to her, to help him/her thru the grieving process.
Trinity - you're happy, healthy & young once more - go chase those butterflies!
