Well they did not mark the computer that she was allergic to either the viral or the bacterial so pharmacist gave her the wrong drug and she almost died. Her whole body was on fire (like you described Daisy being hot to touch) and her tongue was swollen, face, etc and she had to be rushed to emergency and almost died.
Now had they said - we want to make sure this is viral or bacterial meds this may not have happened but they TRUSTED the computer was accurate and pharmacist knew she was allergic to that one medication.
This is why i say ASK QUESTIONS - do not assume.
I wanted to share this as Daisy was hot which after dh told me this last night led me to beleive maybe she had an allergic reaction and you caught it early.
Also, all meds are processed through the liver so any med you give can affect the liver and why liver shunt and mvd dogs you have to be super careful with any meds you give. If you watch on tv it always says disclaimers not for people with liver disease when doing medication announcements
Please be careful and double and triple check meds before giving to yourself or your pets. You may not have a choice sometimes but sometimes you do. |
you are so right we just talked to the vet and her lvls went down
ALT 1300
ALP1500
The vet said that she was looking over all Daisy's medical records and came across where When Daisy had a bad reaction to the leptospirosis vaccination and thought that maybe the Doxycycline gave Daisy this reaction. She said that Daisy probably should of not go on this knowing her sensitivity. OMG!!!
She said that she wrote across Daisy File already NO DOXYCYCLINE!!!!
This I found very interesting.
She said that she wasn't ruling out cancer but the fact that all her symptoms have improved since the fluids and milk thistle is a good sign.
My husband asked her if she thought that it was necessary to have Daisy on 100mg when she only weighs 21 lbs considering that is the max for her size. She replied that she has NEVER had a dog react this way and it is a very rare case but considering all Daisy's past history probably should of not been put on this..
So basically it could of killed Daisy............I am so UPSET!!!
Shouldn't they have viewed her history BEFORE prescribing?
Well we are at now is if Daisy's lvls continue to drop then tomorrow afternoon she can come home.
Please pray for her lvls to continue to drop. I want her home we miss her so much it is so quiet with out her barking
I think I will NEVER complain about her barking again
