I feel as though I have lost my Baby again...

One month and eight days sinse my baby passed, my sister's baby dies yesterday. :( First he vet said said Kitty ( my sister's cat's name )had sinus but she wasn't getting any better and sis takes her back to the vet and then it's asthma. Still not getting any better with meds and then sis takes Kitty to another vet for a second opinion because she's getting worse. The vet said Kitty has had asthma for a long time but there wasn't any symptoms to notice until just recently. They kept Kitty overnight to do tests to determine what couse of treatment would be best for Kitty but after one of the tests Kitty had an attack and they did everything they could to save her but she died. With Kitty dying a month and 8 days after my baby has set me back. It has brought back everything and memories leading up to my baby leaving me. I've been crying and crying and crying. I loved Kitty to. My sis and I have decided that from now we won't take any more of our pets ( I still have my dog, a white toy poodle)to that vet again. I do question the care that my baby received there and it does seem the care could have been done differently and more effectly then what it was. Like bloodwork on my baby that could have been done a lot sooner then what it was.........things like that. I know my baby had health problems that meds probably wouldn't have helped much but I feel proper care would have helped to a certain point. I haven't mentioned a lot of stuff concerning the care of my baby but now that my sis has lost her baby do to this clinic I do believe there are some concerns about that vet clinic. We're outta there!
So, here I am dealing with the loss of my baby all over again along with my sis loss. :(

Oh, Wanda, I'm sooooo sorry to hear about your sisters kitty, that is just aweful. Makes you wonder if some vets want to line their pockets to make you keep coming back time after time for the same problem or are they just not that well educated and or experienced enough to put two and two together. I'm glad to hear you will be finding a new vet, I think that is everyone's best interest, when they don't trust the one they have. I will keep you and your sister in my thoughts. (((hugs)))

Wanda,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss of two kitties. The other day I referred someone else to this site: lightning-strike.com/main.htm - it is a grief site for those who have recently lost pets. Dobie lover went there and has said it has helped and is an excellent site. You could also visit the above site and maybe find strength there. Just be sure not to forget us here.
