Oh right, wasn't your son watching him? I know you felt a lot of guilt then....
It seems like it would be a good thing for vets to let cat owners know about that, before it might happen.
It's a different thing, but guinea pigs, as prey animals, tend to hide their illnesses. So people will post in some of the Facebook groups trying to figure out what happened, as their pig had seemed fine the night before and feeling guilty that they missed a sign. But they often don't give an obvious sign (which does make me worry about anything that seems even slightly off in mine!) Still, it helps to know that.
