My darling lady you are dealing with the worst pain that exists. Losing a pet before their time always hurts more. I too lost my BABY BOY ( B.B.) I left him at vets assuming they would look after him. He was left all alone in dark in cold, dark cage the whole night.
I got call at 9 am telling me he had died. I was so devastated. I wanted to see him but told not good idea. I knew something wasn't right. If he just died from gastro in night why couldn't I view him. I truly believe he died cause he thought I'd abandoned him. He NEVER spent one day away from me. I know he probably scratched at the cage for hours maybe ripping out his drip. I think he had bloody paws from constant clawing.
I still don't understand why I couldn't see him. I'm angry that at the time I just accepted the decision not to see him. My grief overwhelms me. Even my brother told me I shouldn't see BB. I blame myself 100% cause the day before I rang for checkup & told he hadn't vomited all afternoon & stopped pooing. I said I want to take him home as he'll be here alone. My gut was telling me to go get him but I trusted vet knew best. I know my son felt abandoned alone & scared.
I'll never forgive myself & now I always bring my babies home. It's so obvious that leaving them over night means no one is there if things get worse. At home I can take them to emergency vet.

If it were me, I'd have kicked that vet's negligent ass!
