As if this couldn't get any worse? I dropped Stormy off at the vets at about 6pm yesterday or around that time. They had asked me if I wanted to be there when they did it and I told them I just couldn't I was hurting so bad. I got to spend some time with her before they put her down. We paid for it, my fiancee ended up showing up so again I went in to say good bye again with him. She was suppose to be put down AROUND that time, she was in "critical condition" he said. She was DYING in his words. I had been crying non stop the rest of the evening thinking about her, trying to come to terms with what just happen to my baby. We are lying in bed and the phone rings at just after 10:30pm. It is the vets office.
The lady on the other side of the phone says to me that...
SORRY WE HAVE BEEN BUSY AND HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO PUT HER DOWN YET. A DIFFERENT VET JUST CAME IN AND LOOKED HER OVER AND SAID HE CAN PROBABLY FIX HER BUT HE WANTS TO KEEP HER AND YOU GIVE UP OWNERSHIP OF HER.
As if I wasn't suffering already? HOW DO YOU CALL ME and say you've been busy and haven't had a chance yet? Why wouldn't they call me sooner, or even TELL ME that they may not be able to get to her for almost 5 hours later?!?!?! THIS IS SICK!!
So apparently they said that the ulchers on her eyes aren't a "big deal" and that she has some blood in her bum which is bright red blood and that the vet thinks that isn't a very big deal either. He also said he would even fix her nose but he wants to keep her for himself!! I am so pissed off! If my dog was dying why was she left by herself for 5 hours TO SUFFER if I paid you to put her out of her misery?!?! So needless to say I don't know what was going on at this point but I threw on some clothes, my fiancee threw on clothes and we grabbed our daughter, ran to the car and drove to the vet! I was trying to get answers as to why I was told what I was told by the other vet. WHY did he say he thought there was NOTHING TO SAVE HER?!?!?! That my best option is to put her down RIGHT THEN! So I don't know if I did the right thing or not but I went into the back of the vets office and took her out of that little cage she was in, wrapped her up and brought her home with me, said I wanted a refund and that I will find another vet if this is the way they do business here!
I still don't have answers as to what is wrong with my baby. I know there must be something bothering her, it seems just the same as two weeks ago but I had dealt with the doctor that I first seen today. She had an ulcher on her eye he said, gave me antibiotic eye drops and within a few days she was back to normal until this passed weekend.
So now I am thinking that she was probably having a low blood sugar attack and with all the stress going on and needles going into her belly and what not she was stressing out, who knows all I know is that I could of had her at home and brought her in if they were just going to make my baby sit in a cage until it was convienent for them to put her down, she's never been in a cage here, why would she spend her last
HOURS!! in a cage.
This is just horrible, I can't even think straight right now. I just can only take this as a sign that it isn't time for her to go yet? But I don't know what the right thing to do is. I had a strange feeling after and even said to my mom, what if they don't put her down and someone keeps her mom? how would I ever know.
