It is always horrible to lose our pets and even more so when it's sudden. I don't feel like I am educated enough to let you know if you did anything wrong or not. How old was she? Jenny Halina,

I am sorry for your loss of Demelza. It is always horrible to lose our pets and even more so when it’s sudden. I don’t feel like I am educated enough to let you know if you did anything wrong or not. How old was she?

She was also anemic. Her vet stated from blood work done that she was anemic and had either pancreatitis or a tumor on her pancreas and she ddi not have long to live. This was about a week before she passed away. I went to another clinic to get a second opinion. They did an ultra sound, more blood work and kept her on fluids for about 32 hours giving her 50 ml an hour and different injections. I brought her home at about 6:30 and I spent a few minutes with her on the bed, and then she got agitated and ran underneath the bed. I left food and water for her by the bed but found that she did not eat or drink anything. I heard her cry in pain about 11:00 that evening. I called the veterinarian that had done the ultra sound (not her usual vet) and mentioned that she had cried in pain. He said that pancreatitis or a tumor on the pancreas can be painful. However, he has not sent her home with any pain medication. I heard her cry in the morning and she passes away about 4:30 on Saturday - 22 hours after I brought her home. I am devastated and wonder could I have done anything differently. Was it as mistake to take to the second clinic and put her through all that. Would it not have been better just to let her die with the added stress. If you have any information for me please let me know Hi,
