Hello. This is my first post here. I was wondering if you have experienced anything like what I am about to explain.
I hd to euthanize my sweet 16 year-old sweet cat yesterday. He was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and stage 2 kidney in June. Put on 5 of meliazole(sp?). It worked well and at the 3 week appointment it was reduced to 2.5 of Felimazole(sp?) He was doing well, until last week. He started meowing excessively at night and I do not think we slept for 3 days. Took him to the vet this past Wednesday. While waiting , he was happy and walking around the room. They took him to take blood. When he came back it was like he was sedated or drunk. I donlt onow why I didmnot ask them what they did. I guess I was half out of it from not sleeping. It makes me cry so much that I did not ask. I don't know if he had a stroke or they sedated him and did not say, or charge me because something went wrong. This particular doctor jumped pretty much to the other side of the room with my other cat when he was trying to check his teeth and he thought he was going to bite him. I took him there because my other vets never have appointments and this one takes walk-ins. Not that any other vet is any good, I am finding.
when we got home he was eating amd drinking but still not back to normal. His appointment was at 2pm and around 10pm I gave him a dose of Gabeputin(sp? After that, he was bot the same. He ate the next day but would not drink. I thought maybe they sedated him and then the dose of G was too much and it had to wear off. The next day he drank but did not eat. The next day he did nothing but sleep, so we got him to the emergency vet because it was the weekend.
They took his citals and said those were good, but his kidney reading or whatever they measure was at 8 and he was in stage 4. She said they would have to do sub IVs and he would have to stay in the hospital for 2-3 days and if that did not work, do another round with shots at home. She said he was pretty bad . We were there for 5 hours until we decided to put the sweet thing down. She said if it was her cat that is what she would do and I knew since he was so far gone and because of his age his quality of life would not be good.
So, basically I just want to know if any of you have had this experience . Especially, what you think happened at the vet who took the blood and if you think that was what caused this. Thank you
