my dog was always showing symptoms of anorexia and vomiting; but for 2 years i have been asking the vet and they diagnosed her with gastritis; which is a common thing if you read about it. sometimes chronic pancreatitis is hard to diagnos until a full blow attack is present; and those attacks are unpredictable; in this case it was because the vet force fed my dog the night before.
thanks for your input |
I think you are blessed anyways to have the vet give you that option. I have friends and i know people that only got the cold: pay or put to sleep option. And they were so desperate. who would not be?
It may not be very useful or comforting now but if the dog can now have an owner that will be able to care for her for life that may be the best for the dog and for you.
Can you at least get updates? on how well the dog is, and who the adoptive person will be?
And by your explanation, it was only diagnosed because of the force feeding... but it was there already right? the force feeding just caused the full blown attack... and from what i understand it will most likely happen again?
Well, i hope you will find ways to cope and it will all resolve on the best way for all involved.
You must be very hurt and words may never be enough to comfort you.
