Devastated (pet loss) - and need help
My best friend has (had) 2 Dachshunds (they are like my little angels
as well). One of them (2 yrs old) was urinating in his "kennel/crate" that he sleeps in/rests in last Thursday, Friday and Saturday, which was unheard of - but no other visible issues. On Sunday night, he had very loose bowels. Early Monday morning (yesterday), he was vomiting w/diarreah. Rushed him to the vet. Vet said no gastro-intestinal obstructions, just "a lot of gas pockets." Also he had an elevated fever. Injected fluids in him, gave him meds for the rest of the problems. This morning, he was hemorraghing severely... and around noontime -- was put to sleep. Vet thinks that maybe he "was poisoned." This is unbelievable because (1) he is watched over like a hawk by "the mom" and the rest of us (2) everything is sealed up tightly around the house (gates are up during the day) (3) he goes outside only for walks on a leash and to run around in a fenced area. The other Dachshund, appears to be fine... however, he is under really close watch for any other symptoms. What happened??? I'm devastated that he was a playful little boy on Saturday, and now gone today??? While we cannot bring back this one little angel, everyone wants to ensure this does not happen to the other one. What can we do? Thanks in advance. |
