Long post.
We have just suddenly lost our seemingly healthy 9 year old Cat Oscar. My husband and I are absolutely heart broken and looking for any answer possible.
Over the past 12 months Oscar would have “episodes” of falling onto his side, yowling, and pooping. They would last about 1 minute and then he would be totally fine. He was rushed to the vet multiple times after these epsiodes ontop of regular appointments and given a clean bill of health. I suspected siezures, but the vet didn’t ever seem to think it was.
These episodes seemed to happen after he would get scared (he was a big scaredy-cat and everything would make him run and hide so it’s hard to say if that correlates or not.) Two days ago the doorbell scared him and he ran downstairs. We heard the yowling starting so we went down to comfort him, about 30 seconds later he puked up a hair ball (no pooping) and was totally fine and walked to his food dish and started eating and continued acting normal. We went about our night and went to bed. The next day we found him downstairs and he has passed away.
About 4 feet from where we found him there was the poop and some more puke. What could this be? I’m feeling upset and angry because he was checked out at the vet so many times for us to tell him he’s healthy and nothing wrong. I’m just looking for answers and I wish knew if there was something I could have done.
