Our Healthy Cat Dies within 15 Minutes of Seeing Vet

David from Silverdale

This morning I brought my ten year old cat, Bodhi, to Animates Silverdale to check on a leg injury. The check up revealed him to be a generally healthy cat with a likely pulled ligament. The vet took him away to shave the fur around the swelling and returned five minutes later to tell me he died. Fifteen minutes at this vet and my pet was dead. What could they say?

They said: “Sorry. Never happened before. Could have been this or it could have been that. Would you like us to send him away for a post mortem? Shall we put him in a box for you take home?”

The only reason we took him to the vet was because we were told that if you don’t, and someone sees the cat with a crooked leg they might report you to the SPCA. So we did, and this is the result. A lovely friendly cat, dead.

I am so sorry Bodhi that I took you to the vet; you would have got better all on your own. Be at Peace, Sweet Boy.
