My 15 yr old cat stopped eating mid week and became very lethargic so took to our vet we were told it was either viral infection or maybe something more sinister we opted for course of antibiotic treatment to bring temp down from 39 quite high
Having been on them nearly a week we were told on last day of antibiotic treatment that the blood test showed a low blood count at this point she had perked up a bit and was now eating albeit small amounts and she was taking interest in things again
However when we got home Friday we noticed blood in her mouth drooling took back to vet confirmed her teeth were the problem and the must operate asap to remove teeth we were told not to giver her food and drink after 8pm and take back in morning for op on teeth!!
We took her back and waited for call to say she had op but instead of this vet rang and said her blood count had dropped to 9 and the cud not do op she was in a serious state and they needed a decision from us What was happening here
We visited vet on Friday to see he but said they cud not let us take her as she was too ill and in it was best to end her suffering I was totally shocked that this had happened so quick and then found out the bloods had been taken before op instead of in the procedure she got very stressed previously with them taking blood it was agreed hey wud do this when doing teeth however this never happened I told them she wanted tests. Done before I was prepared to let her go she was admitted to a hospital and we took her
However she remained stable until early hrs before she deteriorated it was too late we had to Pts we are in shock at what has happened and cannot come to terms with it from her going off her eating within a week she was dead how can that happen
