Two days ago, Scraggly, a longhair Balinese cat we've had for 8-9 years, suddenly stopped eating on his own. Last night, we noticed that he was breathing fast, as well.
This morning, my Mom and I took him to the vet. As it turned out, he had a heart murmur and fluid around his heart and lungs. My Mom decided that she didn't want him subjected to treatment that would only delay the inevitable (since he was a nervous cat), and so she authorized euthanasia for him.
This was so unexpected! It's apparently not that unusual, however...
The last time we've lost a pet (two if you count an outdoor cat that my Mom took care of) was two years ago.
We've got 3 cats now, and I hope nothing like this happens to them!
R.I.P. Scraggly.
P.S. - If this is supposed to be in the "Las PEToras (For General Pet Discussion)" topic, I'm sorry, but that looked more like a picture topic from the few pages I've read of it.
