Question
My cat was healthy. I found him dead outside, with
a very swollen body and bulging black eyes. His eye color
was a beautiful light green. What could have cause his
death? I only saw one spot of blood on his side near his
stomack.

I am sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, I have no idea what caused the death of your pet. I am not familiar with the health status of your kitty or her surroundings and there is no way I can make an educated guess about what happened to your cat. Perhaps if you share pertinent information with your veterinarian, he/she can better help you in determining how your pet passed away.
Best Regards,
Charlotte Sherrell, DVM

| Comment | Thank you for replying to my question. I wish that you could have mentioned some reasons as to what could have happened to my cat outside that may have caused his sudden death, even if you weren't sure. | ||
