It is a terrible case...apparently she ended up with breathing problems and that is why an xray was done. Just a tragic story .. not what I would think was the fault of anyone. But...hey what do I know? |
LJ are you not reading the whole thing AGAIN?
My Holly died today from lead poisoning. She was 6 months old. She has been in and out of the vet for over a month. At first they thought she had liver shunts, then encephalitis from toxoplamosis or neospora, then she got pneumonia and
THEN on a chest x-ray the vet finally saw a metallic object, a lead craft weight. She endured a spinal tap, a brochoscopy and endoscopy. She had had lead poisoning all this time. Today her breathing became so irregular the vet called us in. We had been visiting twice a day. She was having seizures. We just didnt know what to do. Then she had another seizure while we were holding her and she stopped breathing. The vet gave her an injection and then she was gone. Oh how I loved her. Oh how I will miss her. So sad....So sad.
ALSO check this one out - neurological signs are rare and how many this past two weeks now?
