She was SOOO good, I figured she'd try to put her finger up his butt and i was going to STOP her...she didn't even try.
THen, she ran more blood work CBC and he has NO INFECTION. She also looked at the blood work from the first STUPID vet and said, this does NOT mean he has an infection. He has NO INFECTION at all.......SO, the first STUPID vet tried to give me BATRIL to give Deucy 10 mg per day for NO REASON whatsoever. I am still as LIVID as one can possibly be. I went directly to my BANK, Deucy in my arms after getting back from the Ft. Scott vet and CANCELLED payment on those two checks for yesterday ..paying for HIS SCREW UPS...200.00. for WHAT????? THIS MESS??????????????????????????????????
I Tell you, I could just KILL right now. Now, that I'm home and Deucy has had IV fluids, probiotics, I/d canned food a small amount at a time and Metronidazole for the SCREWUP the STUPID vet did to his INTESTINES with the NON_NEEDED enema that caused this whole thing.............I'm ready to call the STUPID vet and give him a GOOD piece of my mind. I'm also reporting him to the BBB and telling him that I CANCELLED payments for the SCREW UP he did to Deucy yesterday. HOW COULD he put an INNOCENT BABY through this hell?????????????????????????????//
He put us BOTH through HELL from yesterday at 2:00pm until..........CURRENTLY still goijng through this...And another Vet bill for 72.00 from Ft. Scott.
HIs name is Dr. Johnson, Broadway Animal Hospital, Pittsburg KS 66762 NEVER TAKE YOUR PET TO HIM or HIS OFFICE....................
PS...the reason the Vet at Ft. Scott could not stop the bleeding is because it's coming from his INTESTINES from the enema..........the only way she said is that it would clot on its own in time and stop (he's still bleeding today)...He was borderline anemic today due to all this blood loss. She said she could do exploratory surgery but I did NOT want to put him through that. I trust her and her opinion and will follow her instructions.
Hope everyone has learned a lesson from Deucy ...............DO NOT LET A VET give your baby an enema UNLESS he/she absolutely needs one and is constipated beyond help from oil, etc. Deucy wasn't even constipated!!!!!!!!! I told the vet that!!!!!! Why didn't I just walk out with him right then......? I'm STUPID for letting this happen to my precious baby.
We're still not out of the woods. He can only have a few tablespoons of water and a few tbsp of I/D canned food with his probiotics for several days and he is on 500 mg of metronidazole for his intestines.
LEARN FROM THIS EVERYONE. |
Sadly you TRUSTED THE PROFESSIONAL so do not beat yourself up. This is why i try to tell people to educate themselves and ask questions as they are human and make mistakes and we know our pets more than they do in a 15 minute check. I have seen alot of mistakes so I question everything now.
Thanks for sharing this as hopefully it will help others understand why they need to educate themselves to best care for their pets and follow their gut. If it does not feel right do not let them do it. I was pressured into giving my dog a drug I knew was not good for her but i trusted the professional and now I am paying the price still as my dog NEVER had intestinal issues before and now she does off and on for a year now. It is so frustrating as one mistake can take a long time to clear up a toy breed dog and sometimes never clear it up.
I hope your baby gets better real soon and so sorry you went through this.
