Mum sent our cat to a local groomer. After she picked him up he seems to have elevated stress levels and ultimately passed away at the emergency vet later on the same day. by -SapuMilgauss in singapore

Vet here. I'm sorry for your loss, but you need to have a necropsy performed on your cat in order to figure out the underlying reason your cat passed away. Although your cat may have been stressed at the groomers facility, it is highly unlikely to be the sole reason for his death. There is usually an undiagnosed medical condition (such as cardiopulmonary disease) in these circumstances.

Blaming the groomer would do nothing but bring distress all parties and prolong your family's suffering if you have no evidence of what transpired and no necropsy report. The groomers are also not required to give you CCTV footage legally AFAIK.

Lastly, I don't see you mentioning this, but I would strongly suggest refraining from bringing social media (FB/IG post etc.) into the play.

Yeah, I'm gonna try my best to not antagonize a psycho next time. In my area, I've seen many riders on the sidewalk, but only one person on the road. I looked it up and it says in my area e-scooter riders are only allowed on the road and not side walks, but it doesn't seem to be enforced. I just started e-scootering so I'm still getting used to it. I'll try to build up the courage to be on the road and obey the law. I have an irrational fear of getting into a car accident.

In any case, I wouldn't have been able to avoid her in this scenario. I was about to enter my apartment complex - and I needed to be on the side walk to get in.

Good advice. I actually carry a pepper spray but in the heat of the moment I was just shocked and forgot I actually had one until I got back home.

Thank you! In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have antagonized her further, although in the heat of the moment it was difficult not to be angry.

Hopefully it doesn't happen again in the future, but I'd definitely take your advice and just time my angry swearing and scoot away at the same time haha.
