Don't Let The Vet Do This To Your Kitten!
"4 month old kitten passed away today
I'm sad to say our sweet [kitten] 4 month old kitten passed away today 48 hours after the following procedures at her Veterinary visit:
- OHE Cat w/laser (spayed)
- Declaw <1yr:laser
- Annual RCP Vaccine
- Rabbies 1 Yr.
- Nemex/strongid - Kitten/Puppy
- Buprinex/Post pain
My concerns about Veterinarian procedures:
*She was diagnosed with Pulmonary Edema 30 hours after surgery.
*Lasix was gini to her for the fluid in lungsWas this to much at one time for a 4 month old kitten to handle? I trust this Vet as they have been great for all of our pets. However, I cant help but feel that our kitten went from very healthy to "this is very unusual"…"I have never seen this type of reaction in my 15 years"
She died minutes at the Vets under oxygen following my visit to see here.
Isn't that a sorry story? The edema was from the anaesthetic, (UK spelling) better post surgery care may have prevented it.
I think the vet was grossly negligent to do all this work at once. How could anyone subject a tiny kitten to all this in one visit. Declawing is a cruel painful treatment in itself and certainly should not have been done at all.
