Feline Leukemia

Tweet

So i had a cat, Oreo who i got as a kitten from the streets. She had all her shots and was even vaccinated against leukemia but when we took in a stray kitten we didn't know that she was infected...and infected Oreo. Oreos developed faster...for well the stray still hasn't shown any symptoms but considering our other cat was born into the home, and her mom, and her mom, so on so forth. Well when Oreo got sick her lymph nodes enlarged and i flipped cause i thought it was throat cancer(my rhodesian ridgeback had to be put down cause of this) so my grandpa sent me the money to get her checked out. We went to the vets and they said, and i quote 'well give her this antibiotics till its gone and she'll be fine' this was back before december..round october last year. Well she kept getting worse, and since our van was broke i had no way to get her to the vets. My sister came up and she'd worked as a kennel tech, training to be a vet tech and said 'Oreo looks like the cats that came in with leukemia...she probably has it. If she does, shes gonna die theres nothing you can do' well that was around x-mas. Then on jan 6th, at 6:15 pm when i was wiping her down with salt water to help with her fleas, cause i didnt wanna put flea dip on her..she was so weak...and skinny. She couldnt walk...and you could see her bones... i had to carry her everywhere, she wouldnt eat either and felt like she had a fever. Well..when i was wipin her down, she went into convulsions and died in my arms..despite my attempts to revive her. My sister suggested sueing the vet because she said that they should have checked for leukemia considering how she looked when she went to the vet, her fur was oily and matted(she was a short hair). So what do ya'll think? Was the vet in the wrong or was it just unfortunate that oreo did in fact have leukemia even though she was suppose to be protected from it by vaccine?
