As we as often operating with little to no background or history, we can only hit the high spots and give the best advice based on what we are given to work with vs. what sounds like could possibly going on with a dog and the passing of time being critical if poison or a massive stroke/brain bleed were involved.
As there are many rescue organizations who have to take over the care of ill or injured dogs where no funds exist to obtain vital vet care in emergent situations probably every day in this country, apparently not everyone to whom it is recommended surrendering their dog to get it vetted thinks that is a mean or vile suggestion, as many, many people do obtain vital emergency care for their dogs that way without pointing fingers of judgment at those that suggest it or continue to verbally berate them for days following.
No one thought the worst of you - we were only trying to make you see what got you in your situation did not matter - only quick vetting seemed to be critical with a dog having Daisy Mae's symptoms. But I cannot help but feel I and the others you've judged as "mean", "rotten apples", etc., pointing us out by name on your first thread, feel your continued attempts to vilify us as excessive, somewhat vindictive and totally unhelpful at this point. All I and the others wanted to do was give you the best and quickest way to get what sounded to some of us amateurs(which is what I made clear to you were are) critical and immediate vet care for a critically ill or injured dog which lay passing out/losing muscular control, jerking and shaking.
And that's what you get when you come to a public forum on the internet - amateurs working with too little information, no medical or event history, no environmental information, no age, weight, temperature, respirations or heart rate and no vet license on our walls. And we mostly suggested you vet your dog ASAP and some of us went on to suggest that IF you ultimately couldn't afford its critical care vet bills and it light of its awful symptoms, surrender the dog for immediate emergent care rather than let it suffer, its symptoms worsens and possibly die as time could be of the essence. And for that, the judgment and negativity came crashing down and continue.
And what do you mean you weren't allowed to respond? You've already taken some of us to task over and over on your original thread, reported on Daisy Mae's good outcome and we all happily responded and wished you well. What is the point of this second time around?
You keep wondering why no one cared about what led up to your situation and what you were going through, the kind of person you are. I've been through a bad year physically and my dog has a chronic condition and my sister is dying, but I still give to the poor and do what I can, help my neighbors in bad times, so I haven't had it so grand either but I'm not as bad as you seem to think I am.
What will it take for you to see my advice was that of an amateur in an online forum offered in good faith, to get the dog critical vet diagnosis and care ASAP, whatever it took, and not to comment on or hurt you personally or insinuate you were a bad person?
For the first time since joining YorkieTalk, I feel it may be time to quit the forum and stop spinning my wheels trying to help people's dogs when the owner chooses to take that advice given as an amateur who has to err on the side of extreme caution, offered when I thought a dog was likely in real trouble,and subsequently see that advice to get the dog vet care whatever it took ASAP, excoriated over and over, my motives in particular called into question and twisted into something the OP seems bent on trying to make into something ugly with almost every response posted.
Still, none of that matters when a bunch of online doglovers are dealing with a dog in a seeming emergent condition and trying to get it seen quickly by a vet. I'm so grateful your girl is alive and well. I hope whatever happened to her that day has been diagnosed and treatment rendered and Daisy Mae will be well from now on. |
