Crap. Our alpha cat stopped eating and felt warm, so we gave him a low dosage ibprophen. His temp went down but he still wouldn't eat, so we force

fed him for a day hoping he would come out of it. Took him to the vet this morning and were told that we may have killed him with the aspirin....I had no idea it was poison to cats. Worse case, his liver is gone. They put him on i.v. drips and are running extensive blood and urine tests to determine the original problem. The doctor didn't mince words "most cats that come in this way usually die". Very low temp, very pale, dehydrated. Shit, piss, fuck, I feel horrible.

Aww. . .poor kitty. He may not be "most". Don't beat yourself up about it. * Good thoughts* -- nm - jnine Mar 13, 12:15
I thought it was tylenol that killed them (or is that dogs?) -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 13, 12:12 1
