Answer
Dear Tanya,
There is never a right answer. Could your cat have survived with homeopathic or holistic care? Possibly. There is, however, NO reason to feel guilty. You made the best choice you could make given the knowledge you had at the time. Water and blood in his lungs are very severe symptoms, so he may not have had any chance to survive.

Now, your choice is to begin learning about alternative therapies and finding alternative veterinarians (like Marc Baer, D.V.M.. Baer - photo. Marc Baer, D.V.M.. Homeopatte- Homeopathy for Animals Streulistr. 14. CH 8032 Zurich, Switzerland Phone: +41 44 777 2772 ...) He, and the internet, can guide you to others. I recommend reading the book Homeopathy: What to Expect, by DeBeuklaerer (www.Christinachambreau.com/books.php) shows you how many different illnesses can be cured, and you can see how not every animal with those problems will heal.

Be at peace,
Dr. Chambreau
