The APSS DVM stated that this exposure would not cause death. The APSS DVM strongly suspects that the cat had cardiomyopathy, especially in view of the recent onset of blindness. A necropsy was recommended to ascertain the cause of death. The APSS staff was unsuccessful with attempts to follow-up with the owner in regard to going forward with a necropsy. Therefore, additional information was not determined.
