Question
Hi, I took my 3 year old Maine Coon to vet to have her teeth cleaned and she
did not wake up. They tried CPR etc. but she didn't make it. The Vet noticed  
her lymph nodes were swollen quite a bit in her legs and up around her neck
area. Also she had received tape worm medicine a week ago and I I had given
her Advantage about a month ago Thank You for any information you have.
The vet guessed cancer..

Answer
Tracey -

I am sorry for the loss of your kitty.  Unfortunately, I cannot tell you why your cat might have passed away.  Your vet can give you a better explanation of your cat's passing because he/she has performed a physical exam on your pet.  

Best Regards,
