I will be leaving this blog in its original state for people to read about Neala and our experience with PRAA. I am simply heartbroken over all of this and appreciate all of your support.
After much thought, I have decided to send a letter to the vet hospital about her care. There is one key thing that should not have happened and I feel inevitably led to her death- and that was feeding her a rather solid wet canned food immediately after this delicate surgery. Since her breathing was not compromised before the surgery, it is evident this compaction of food in her esophagus that led to her death occured while at the Center. This compaction of food probably would have been avoided if they had fed her the appropriate Science Diet A/D, watered down, versus regular Science Diet Kitten Food. I cannot allow this mistake to happen again to someone else's baby further down the road.
Here is the follow-up blog to Gotta Have Faith...
This is just an awful terrible event - I am truly sorry.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a wonderful idea to keep this blog for Neala. I've read all of June's post and it's just heartbreaking to realise how you started with such optimism and joy - how Neala was this wonderful little kitty with a great big personality full of kitty uniqueness and beauty.
This is absolutely a terrible tragic loss. Tragic.
I look forward to your new blog.
Please take care

Again, sorry for your loss. I think it's a great idea to file a complaint. As you said in an earlier post, mistakes will happen, but if this truly led to her death, than it was more than a "mistake." Maybe your complaint will help other pets.
