My cat's problem started with vomiting, loss of appetite , and lethargy. After couple days she had labored breathing. We took her to her vet who said the cat seems fine to him and gave her 4 shots. Vit B injection, cerenia for nausea, an antibiotic and steroid shot. That evening her breathing became very labored so i took her to an emergency vet care. Chest x-rays showed fluid in her chest and an enlarged liver. Vet's treatment plan included oxygen therapy and lasix. 6 hours later she went into cardiac arrest and 2 minutes later she died. She had no known medical problems at all so her death is a shock. I'm looking for answers as to why this happened so fast? Please give some info. Thanks.

I came back from short vacation. While I was away, friend was looking after my 2 cats. My Mim was as always happy to see us, we cuddly a little, then when I was checking apartment she was with me, then I gave my cats some snacks and I went to sit on a couch. After 2 minutes cats came to me, we again cuddle a little. Then Mimi was sitting 20cm away from me, she was cleaning herself. Everything was perfectly normal. Then I saw her paw in a strange movement, then still up in the air, I heard strange noise from her and after a second she was lying on her belly, front paws stretched in front of her. I was with her in a second, I pick her up but she was so flabby. No response. I didn’t know what to do. I scream her name and I cuddle her, we went to vet clinic, while in a car her body fluids (I think it was urine) came down on me a bit. When we got to the clinic and I lay her on the table all the urine came down, vet saw her tongue, check her heart with stethoscope and said that she is gone. I have no idea what happened. In the end of July we did check up at vet, blood work. Everything was fine. I can’t forgive myself that I didn’t do CPR immediately. I was in such a shock. Maybe it would help. It’s been 5 days and I can’t cope with her sudden death :(

I took my perfectly healthy cat to the groomers to get his “lion cut” as I had been doing for three years. The groomer texted me in 25 minutes that SeaRay would be done in 5 minutes. I arrived 10 minutes later to pick her up. The groomer told me my SeaRay was fine during the grooming she put her back in her cat cArrier and then noticed that she wasn’t breathing. I arrived right then. The groomer took her out of the carrier and said she wasn’t breathing and she couldn’t feel a heart beat—she started mouth to mouth on her tried to compress her chest but SeaRay slumped over—I rushed her out to the car to take her to vet but she died in my arms. She was only 6 years old—her last check up my excellent vet said she was hearing a little heart murmur but she didn’t seemed concerned about it. What on earth happened to my cat? This groomer loved my SeaRay— it was loud at her house with the dog barking. Did my SeaRay get stressed and die from cArdiac arrest?

I had my 7 month old male kitten neutered almost 4 weeks ago. Over the past three to four days, he became a little quiet, more than usual, and not as big of an appetite. Went to feed him this morning and found him lying on the floor dead. It appeared as if he was sleeping. He did not have any obvious signs and symptoms of illness other than what I expressed. When I moved him I noticed about 15 cc's of saliva dripped from his mouth. I was assuming that this was just part of the purging although there was no urine or feces present. I am perplexed as to what had happened to him so I Googled and found that a percentage of cats can die from 12 hours to six weeks after having anesthetics from surgery. It can cause myocardial problems. I am heartbroken and don't know what else to think. Has anyone experienced anything like this?
