after the second dose, the accidents stopped and she seemed to be happy. Friday we found that she once again couldnt get enough to drink and that she wasn't interested in the food that she so often eats. She accepted a hamburger treat later that night but we still rushed her to our vet first thing saturday morning.
They sent us home and said to take her to the er if she collapsed, we went home, and saturday was mostly the same, but sunday, she stopped taking any water, she started to become disoriented and crash into furniture. We rushed her to the hospital, and by the time we got there she couldn't walk.
They rushed the blood work, and started her on an iv, and before the blood work came back, she slipped into a coma. They said that her pancreas levels were looking bad, she had severe anemia, probable internal bleeding and that most of her blood tests were unfavorable. They gave us the option of blood transfusions, but we decided that the chances were too low to continue to do that to her, and made the decision to put her down. She passed away before they could give her the iv injection to put her down.
I am really concerned because we dont know the exact diagnosis so I was wondering if we should be worried about our other dog at all, is it possible something could be wrong with her? I am curious if blood work would have been sampled with the urine test a month ago that we might not have had this traumatic experience with our pet. I am also concerned about the lack of urgency on saturday when we did try to take her in...are these concerns valid, or did our vet follow the book?
