my cat wasnt eating and i took him to a vet that was open not to my regular and we did an xray and a simple blood test that came out normal but the xray showed a lot of poop so we figured out that this was causing it he told me to w8 and all will be fine at home i was watching him in pain and suffer so i called my normal vet and asked what should i do he told me to give a mix of 5 ml parafin oli and 5 ml magnesia milk mixed together with a siringe in his mouth on the side i gave a very small dosage first day cuz i though he said 0.5 ml and he did poop a little but next morning was exactly as bad i w8ted till the aternoon and things where not going well he was getting worse so i called him again and he told me give a total of 10 ml 5+5 mixed and some water i asked if chicken soup was better he told me yes so i gave him some soup 5ml and after an hour the medicine  after i saw him getting worse and worse so i took him to a hospital that was open with one person only working on xmas night
we did a new xray and saw some liquid in his lungs we used some fluid injection through veins and he told me that in the morning they will do an antibiotics course but he died during mid day they called me later they told me it was from the fluids that got to his lungs when i gave him the medicine and soup i cant stop crying from yesterday i killed my friend if i had let things run their course he would have been fine this is killing me i cant stop screaming from the pain i feel i fall asleep for some moments and i wake up and feel the house empty i betraid his trust .... i just cant....

You did not kill your cat. It sounds like the vet was wrong and liquids were a mistake. Chicken soup is usually salty--that may not help. and is okay for healthy cats in small amounts. Do not return to that vet. for any future cats. Find another one maybe from Yelp. That's how I found mine.

We don't know whether cat would have died anyway soon afterward. It's a horrible feeling I know. Take it easy in bed for a while. Answers on Google may or may not be accurate.

The Cornell Feline Health Center in N.Y. answers email all the time from cat owners. They are sympathetic.  Try them, see what the vet there thinks. Sorry.

I am so sorry for your little Cuddles...and for you too.  I lost my dog (cancer) over four months ago and it's been the hardest of all my pet losses, I've lost 32 dogs & cats in my life.  I feel I will mourn him the rest of my life as I miss him and always will.

He might have died even if things "ran their course", you were trying to help him and do what the vet said.  They must have felt it was his best chance or they wouldn't have suggested it.  Fluid in the lungs is hard.  I'm so sorry, he knows you'd never mean to hurt him.  There are no words to comfort you, I know, sometimes we just have to get through it, take one day at a time, hopefully time will lessen the pain.  

Try to focus on his being out of pain, I believe we'll get to be with them again, but I also know it's hard waiting meanwhile.

Sometimes the tears help aid the grief processing.  Of course, wait until you feel more ready.  

I'm sorry you have sick parents on top of losing your beloved cat.  Been there, it's a lot to handle.  I'm not convinced you've failed any but I know I can't talk you out of your guilt feelings.  But we do need to learn to forgive ourselves and be understanding of ourselves, even as we would a friend...in other words treat ourselves as we would a friend, don't give ourselves any less.  We deserve that.

Most animals can have plenty of liquid when they're sick, the vet instructed you, this was not your fault.  Love yourself as your can loved you.  Forgive yourself whatever you think you did.  This is what I love about animals, they don't waste emotion hating/judging us, they are accepting, loving, appreciative.  We stand to learn so much from them!  You will be with him again and I can't wait to see him look you in the eyes, that will say it all, it will all be past.  :wub:

It's been over two years since I lost my Arlie (dog/cancer) and nearly two years since I lost 25 year old Kitty, I love and miss them both.  What a great reunion day that will be!
