Laura, sending healing thoughts, energy and prayers to you. You did right by these kitties. There are so many things we cannot control. You gave them love and they had a better life with you than they would have had otherwise...even though brief. Godspeed, sweet Bridget.
My beloved Keisha, (age unknown, FeLv-) was my kitty for 10 years. One day she was having trouble breathing. I took her to the ER. The vet told me he wanted to give her some oxygen and that she would be fine. He told me to come back in 2 hours. He called me an hour later and said she died. I had so many questions and guilt and then some days later I realized my guilt and the answers to my questions would not bring her back and I did the best I could. I did request a necropsy and did learn her cause of death (congestive heart failure. I also learned she had beginning stage lung cancer). Knowing what she died of did provide some measure of comfort but didn't change things. My best, Laurie -----Original Message----- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Beth Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2010 6:51 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Bridget is dead Oh Laura I am so sorry. You have truly had an awful time lately. Please don't blame yourself. I've had a couple kitties die under anesthesia. It has usually been their heart. You are such a wonderful person to take in these kitties & have done so much more than most people would have. Unfortunately having these kitties takes a horrible toll on our hearts. My thoughts are with you.

I had her spayed today and apparently she died very quickly under anesthesia. She was my baby. I would have done anything for her and now she's dead. It has been a miserable few weeks with Frosty Paws and then Baby Girl but this has broken my heart. She was doing so well. Could it have been the LTCI? I have to know whether I'm responsible for killing her. Please, if anyone knows whether the LTCI could have had something to do with it, maybe made her more sensitive to being put under, please let me know, I have to know whether I killed my cat. _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
