My cat Smokey just died this morning at 5am. The experience of losing your family pet that you love and cherish so much is heartbreaking. He had a scheduled appointment to see Dr. Stevens this morning at 10:30am. His distended stomach had not gone down so she prescribed diuretics to see if that would help. It just basically cleared up the cough he had. She took blood, urine, did a cat scan, xray, and injected him twice with a pain killer and sedative to relax him while being examed. I can't help wondering why no diagnosis resulted after all that. She had related to me that all tests had come out normal, except the cat scan which showed fluid on Smokey's stomach and in the throat which evidentally caused the cough. She was thinking it could be cancer or heart trouble. He was suppose to go back in a couple of weeks for a follow up which I was late in getting back to. I made the appointment Tuesday for him this Sat., and he died Sat. morning. It's a heartbreaking thing to see you
