As you know, Millie died 6 days after her spay. She hadnt eaten in 7 days, and could hardly keep water down.

I said all along that I thought that she was too weak, because she hadden eaten in so long, but the vets said they had to concentrate on her keeping the water down without being sick.

Because she had two surgeries and anesthetics in 5 days, it was too risky to sedate her to put her on a drip.

I was giving her glucose & nutrical every hour, and she had picked up earlier that day she died.

Her symptoms seem common to hypoglycemia; she had a shaking head, her legs were very wobby when she walked, she was very weak and distant.

The vet was going to put her on the drip the next morning, but she died during the night.

They were still talking about it today - they cant understand it, there was no bleeding, no infections, no sign of any other internal problems from the surgery.

Do you think thats what it could of been, and is there anything I could of done differently? I was giving her glucose and nutrical every hour to get her strength up a bit for the drip.

Now I wonder if we should've just taken the chance with the drip.

She was one year old and 5lb, so not a normal hypoglycemia case.

I just cant get by this, and the what ifs and whys....
