really struggling to come to terms with my sweet girls passing & the not knowing what caused the seizure that took her life
My baby died Sunday on the way to emergency vets during a prolonged seizure, we don’t even know what caused the seizures/underlying cause, because she didn’t passed before we had the chance to get an MRI done.
I genuinely just can’t believe it, I keep expecting her to come into my room and jump onto my bed and purr like she always did. Last week she seemed perfectly fine, her usual self, and come thursday she started seizing, we took her emergency vets and all they did was give her a prevomax injection and gabapentin to give her and they found nothing concerning apart from her heart beat being a bit muffled but they overlooked that and her hair loss on her legs, which they also overlooked as past vets said her overgrooming was behavioural related, but looking back, I think in some way that was linked to whatever was causing the seizures. And, from research, apparently partial seizures can cause over-grooming,
my poor baby.
They made us believe everything would be okay and that it could have been a thyroid issue and that it was a one-off seizure, when it clearly wasn’t because her seizures continued the next day and she died just over 2 days after we went there. They didn’t even suggest an MRI or any further tests, it was our regular vets we went to on Sat,
following two other seizures that did, but my sweetheart didn’t last long enough to get an MRI done.
I just feel as if I failed her, and it hurts me deeply, I should have pushed for further testing there and then but I genuinely thought she would be okay, because they really believed it was a one-off seizure, I feel as if the Emergency Vets just brushed her off.
It really hurts because I have lost my fur baby, she was my absolute everything and my first ever cat. She was the angel who saved me from the depths of despair and now I have lost her in such a horrific way. I cant even sleep at night anymore. I just can’t get over the suddenness of it all.
I miss you my sweet girl. Always and forever in my heart 🐾
