Daisy has only had 2 UTI in her life once when she was 2 and another one when she was 5. Daisy developed crystals in june Daisy is 6 1/2.
If the liver is small my question is why? Can it heal itself or is it sadly too late. I have racked my brains at what went wrong but I have to say I have always been pretty careful with Daisy and what I fed her and what vacinations she got. They always have to give Daisy a shot of benydral beofre a vacintaion bc she has horrible reactions. I take Daisy to get one shot at a time.
I don't know what went wrong and I wish I could rewind the tape of life and fix whatever did go wrong but I can't and I am heart sick that this has happend and I will blame myself forever if she doesn't pull through bc I did NOT research the doxycycline.  |
Even if you had researched it, my guess is you would have given it. It is no more of a problem than any other antibiotic and it is a drug of choice for treating Lymes. If you researched every antibiotic, you would find side effects. And, honestly, no one is positive that is what has caused this. Sadly, some dogs will have reactions to medications...and no one really knows when or what kind of reaction. It is just a risk we sometimes have to take. If she needed an antibiotic, which clearly she did, then that is why you gave it. Maybe the vet said this about the link between the vaccine reaction and doxycycline, and maybe she is right; but I really do have questions about it.
Blaming yourself is not productive. You just need to take care of Daisy now..and yourself. I hate to see you beating yourself up like this.
