Finding your pet unexpectedly dead

Lee is terrified of coming home after a long day of work and finding their pet cat dead. It has nothing to do with the fact that they wouldn’t know how to dispose of the animal, but rather the idea that their cat may have been suffering all alone in its final moments and they couldn’t do anything to help.

It’s probably something every pet owner fears, or at least thinks about from time to time. But how often does it actually happen? Are there signs you should look for in your pet to make sure they aren’t already experiencing symptoms of an undiagnosed illness? On this episode of “Your Weirdest Fears”, host Larry Mullins sits down with Veterinarian and Internal Medicine Specialist Dr. Lauren Adelman to find out.
