First of all,I think you did NOTHING wrong, so I can't answer you question with what happened..
I can say this on a personal level you do not want pity,but how about just some words of comfort...
You didn't do anything wrong, look how quickly you acted, how careful you were to time it,how careful you were to keep everything in order for him and protect him. How many fur grandmas do not do this? Look how you acted, and took him straight away to the vet with out any thought and kept him cool on the way.. and look what this child that you raised did... she let him go rather then let him suffer.... props to each of you, and I'm so sorry this happened to you and hope for you and your family brighter days.
