Current Events > Just learned my dog passed away today.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Had her since 2011. A little over six. Really shocking, she was doing just fine last month, then all of the sudden last week she wouldn't come out of her doghouse for hours, and when she finally did she wasn't using her hind legs, almost as if she were crawling.

My parents took her to the vet, they did X-Rays and whatnot. The only thing they could find was a plate in her hind leg (she had it placed there when she was young) was shattered, but they said that was fine that way. Couldn't find anything else wrong so they thought it might be arthritis. We got an antiinflammatory medicine she was supposed to take for a week then as needed thereafter. I just learned a few minutes ago when my mom called me that she ended up passing away. My mom said she had a pool of blood around her mouth where she was laying. Who knows what happened.

I'll really miss her. She was smart.

Sorry to hear. :( Dogs live fast and hard but Im sure you and the family made it sure it was a good one.
---

I'm so so sorry

I'm sorry to hear that.
---

Sounds terrible. Sorry for your loss
---

Stinks, too because I knew she wasn't doing too well and I was going to be able to get back home tomorrow to see her.
---

---

I'm so sorry Lan. :(

Those vets sound pretty incompetent...
---

*hugs*

I don't want to talk bad about them since I know zero about animal medicine, but if there was blood around her mouth, that sounds pretty freaking serious, so I don't understand how they couldn't find anything wrong when they examined her. Anyone familiar with veterinary sciences?

In any case, she's not suffering anymore.
---

Damn :(
---

I'm very sorry dude.

I can't say anything about your dog but I just recently had to put mine down. He was a small little guy and last year he developed a brain tumor. One day he was acting perfectly fine and then overnight he started experience seizures; just sleeping like normal and then boom grand mal. Apparently their health can just turn like a light switch, according to the vet. So the sudden bleeding from the mouth could have been a fairly normal thing.
---

Sorry for your loss.

don't know if they would account for the blood around the mouth but did they rule out any tick related issues?
---

Feel like the loss of pets is one of the few things that prevent trolling on CE.

sorry tc

No but I agree with the other guy about your vet.

Maybe. That stinks to hear.

Not sure. I only know what my parents have told me. I'm going to assume that wasn't a concern since I didn't hear anything about it.

And thanks to everyone else for your kind words. It's appreciated.

My condolences

Sorry man, I lost my boy (14 years old) in early sept. still hurts.
---

Sorry, Lan. Pets are family, it hurts to lose them.
---

:(

Was your dog sleeping inside the house, or is this dog house outside? I'm only asking because it's winter and a dog shouldn't be forced to sleep in a dog house, outside, in the middle of December.
---

Oh no, Im so sorry to hear that :(

Did this happen after the first time the anti-inflammatory meds were given to her?

Yeah, I know she had at least one dose.

What the heck did they do?

I think they screwed up with anesthesia somehow.. i knew better than to have her get into it with me, she was just informing me because i was around when she got the dog, named it etc, now we're back to not speaking

Well it would be best if she pressed charges at least and got their licences suspended.

@LanHikari10 where were you? And will you reimburse your parents vet bill.

Lan :(

Sorry to hear, man. Hope you're doing alright.

I live in an apartment about 70 miles from home. No animals allowed here, so my two dogs stay home.

Sucks bro. But that means you gave the dogs to your parents right? Since they take care of them and pay for everything.

I was thousands of miles away in college when my dogs died. Still miss them =/

I suppose so, but she was part of the family so even if I wasn't there I cared about her all the same.

Searched a bit and there is not really one answer. Could have been anything. But considering the timing in this case, layman opinion......I'm guessing she was allergic to the medicine. Get an autopsy to be sure. Atleast you won't be left wondering.

Stay strong Lan.

Thanks. It really could be anything. There are just too many questions.
