I think you had a unique problem there, Kuno, and no-one could really tell you what to do. This is not something seen very often, unless I'm wrong. So you could not have possibly known how to help her. I think even the vets would have been guessing at how to treat her, and like your friend said, she easily could have died in surgery.

You said she was still moving and eating, right, so hopefully she was not in much pain and her body systems just shut down... and she passed peacefully. Don't blame yourself...
