Please excuse me for my terrible english, sorry also for the long read.
Our cat who was having internal problems left us today, but it was not peaceful :( i brought him to his first vet to fix his IV fluids since he was placed on home IV care since it was really expensive to leave him at the vet, im just a student with no job, moreover leaving him at the vet would also stress him more.
Throughout his whole treatment ( 2 weeks), i did everything that i could, i brought him to three vets, i really couldn't give him the top quality of treatment due to me lacking the financial capability to do so, but i still did what i could for him, i even consulted r/AskVet, and we were really happy that he was slowly recovering, well, until today that is.
I brought to the vet to get his IV fixed but while the vet was fixing our cat's IV fluids, the vet did some kind of physical examination and insisted that our cat's kidney was swelling and that it was an emergency situation. He said that our cat was not urinating, although we've seen him urinate a bunch of times yesterday and that he was slowly recovering with the set of medicine that was prescribed to him by his second veterinarian. The vet insisted that a catheter was needed.
I asked if it was okay to just bring my cat home, since i knew that it would only cause him more stress and might endanger my cat, but the vet insisted and insisted on it, he sedated my cat and prepared to insert the catheter, he ignored my request and instead proceeded to perform the operation to insert the catheter .
Our cat's heart stopped and died few minutes after being injected with the sedation fluid or whatever it is called :(. Im depressed, furious, and i really really think that the vet killed my cat, he was really recovering yesterday, slowly but still recovering, we can really see it since he was slowly regaining his old self, he was even able to jump and walk to his favorite chair. but the vet, he ruined everything, what should i do now?
We did everything that we could for oreo, his second vet recommended euthanasia as an option if, IF we feel that it is time and most importantly if oreo is not feeling really well anymore. I get that it's to help ease his pain and suffering but no. He instead died in the hands of his first vet, while in pain and with still the chance of recovery.
Oreo did not deserve to die under such cruel circumstances, oreo was fighting for his life but that shitty excuse for a vet robbed him of the chance of recovery that was given to him :( it hurts to imagine that oreo what oreo could've felt, he probably thinks that i betrayed him for bringing him to that vet.
Is there any legal action that i can do against the vet?
It's really depressing to know and imagine that oreo himself was also doing his best to fight and stay strong, we could see it since he was slowly regaining his strength and usual attitude. I shouldn't have brought him to that veterinarian, i also think that i indirectly killed him :( im really lost, i cant stop imagining things. Oreo probably felt really betrayed and sad. He died at that clinic's table, it really hurts because he never got to go home to his favorite chair or at least eat his favorite meal ( He stopped eating and drinking a week ago, that's why he was given iv care)
Oreo was a big part of our family, we rescued him 3 years ago as a stray from our old school, he was a senior cat that really loved fish and shrimp. :'( i really really think that i also killed him for bringing him there, i really shouldn't have brought him to the vet. I should've just treated him at home, i brought him there so that his IV could be fixed because it was not flowing, the vet said that there was already an abscess forming at the site of his IV insertion, but i shouldn't have brought him to the vet, it's like i just brought him there to get killed
What should i do now, any legal actions that i can do?? Im just a student but is there any legal action that i can do? please help, i cant accept his death, and i dont think that ill be able to. Especially that it was really unpeaceful and painful for him :( and that i was a part of his suffering, i really shouldn't have brought him to that vet :(
