Even then, until we fully anesthetized her there was no way to know the extent - And she wasn't stable enough to do that until close to the end of business the following day. I did what we would have done in clinic - I started her on IV fluids, I administered shock treatment including fluids, antibiotics, and shock treatment, and kept my vet informed of her vitals, attitude, and everything about her through the night. You may not like it - But reality is regardless of where she was that night, that's what would have been done for her. My vet may not have seen her in person until the next day - But even after I dropped her off, she was left to rest in a cage getting the EXACT same care I'd been giving all night until she was stable enough they could anesthetize her and fully evaluate her injuries. Was it horrific? Yes, but would I have done anything different? Honestly, no! She was not in any way neglected or denied medical care. |
You can paint it any way you like. I stand by what I said...the pup should have been hospitalized.
Even Moose most likely should based upon your words...but you admit that money is the issue.
Not going to go back and forth with you about this. I made my point and that's all I have to say. I will pray for Moose and also for you.
