I wanted to respond to a critique I have read posted on another board. The post accuses of mismanagement and in essensence euphr to be the cause of this kitten's demise. In case there are readers of both boards I would like to share a few points on the matter.

This kitten presented with what appeared to be non-debilitating diarrhea; ie it had tons of energy, was eating and drinking and in fact a vet had checked vitals and performed a fecal exam which turned out to be NSF. Could a dose of euphr which produced healing of the eyes, be the cause of this kitten's death? I would find it unlikely given:
a) it had a favourable affect on the eyes
b) the diarrhea was present before euphr and did not appear to be changed or perhaps became a little better after dosing
c) the "life force" of the kitten appeared strong not only to the caregiver but also the vet (who did check vitals)-if a reasonable potency was given, and it was wrong for the case I would have expected the kitten to expire within 24 hours showing signs of agrevation
d) death occured suddenly 4 days after the dose

Megs, if you are still around, what potency, frequency and amount of euphr did you use?

If threatening symptoms showed and could have been prescribed for, perhaps this kitten could have been saved; but given the sudden demise I would still remain highly suspicious of another factor (perhaps genetic or of a viral component)that caused the death. Its a shame routine necropsy are not performed -I always wonder why vets don't seem to be bothered by not knowing? It drives me nutty, hopefully to a pathology degree!
