Thank you Kayc❤️ I appreciate the words and links to the resources.

Thank you❤️ I appreciate your words. I’m just devastated and I know she was towards the end of her life but she had been doing pretty good. It was all so sudden. I also feel like since she was older and had health problems my vet didn’t investigate or ask many questions. I do regret now putting her down and feel like we should of given her a couple days to see if she improved but we were afraid she was suffering. Thank you again for your kind words.

My guilt is killing me inside. I accidentally gave my sweet kitty too much of her flea medicine. My 17 year old kitty had been getting the same revolution plus for years and I never noticed any problems. She did have diabetes and heart failure and was on insulin, diuretic and plavix. She had been losing some weight recently and I didn’t think of her medication being too strong. I realized it this month that she probably shouldn’t get a full dose so I just tried to give her some of the tube. (I ignorantly didn’t realize all the side effects of her flea med) She got some of a dose on Wednesday and then on Thursday was acting weird like she couldn’t poop. We took her to the vet and they checked her blood sugar and gave her an enema for stool that appeared stuck in her colon. The next day she wasn’t acting right. Meowing like she was in pain, trying to get outside when she was an indoor kitty and never went outside. Could barley stand and kept falling. We took her back to the vet and he said she was shutting down. Her temp was low and her prognosis was grim. We said goodbye. 💔 We thought maybe she had a blood clot due to her heart failure but I was skeptical. The next day I was cleaning and noticed the flea medicine I had just recently given her. Googled it and was just devastated. I had no idea what I was giving her could of been the issue. Looking back she had plenty of the signs. Lethargy, dilated pupils, hypothermia, extreme weakness and trouble walking. I didn’t make the connection and the vet didn’t either. Now I’m completely heartbroken knowing I gave her the medicine and if we would of figured out what was the cause she maybe could of been saved. I called my vet back and told him what I thought happened and he didn’t think that was the cause. Told me the safety trials and that had been tested. He concluded that she has so many problems and that it wasn’t her flea medication. I know it poisoned her and I’m devastated. My poor sweetie. I loved her so much and would of done anything for her. She was older and not the healthiest so I knew she wouldn’t be with me forever but the way she went and how fast was just devastating. I can’t believe I was the cause. I can’t forgive myself for being so stupid- for one giving her the medicine and another for not figuring it out in time to save her. My heart has a hold in it. My poor Buttercup 💔
