I've asked vet to do an xray but he insisted it was an infection since her throat was "very red swollen and irritated" yet my reason for emergency visit was because i thought she was choking on something.....i disagreed with him since she had no fever so why would she just need antibiotics? That was my first visit and waste of 75.00.
Then she started throwing up stopped eating and had strange very stinky poop that resembled rubber almost like with mucus .I took her back with the stool sample and they say shes eaten something she shouldn't of and has a belly ache from it...they charged me another 145.00
Since that last visit shes slowly going down. I see her getting just a lil bit worse everyday. She hasn't pooped since the stool sample I took to the vet which was awful stinky and almost like rubber with lots of mucus. I'm very unhappy with them not listening to me but I'm so worried shes suffering and scared. I watch her very closely but one night she was alone for an hour and got into my nightstand. I found cough drops, a razor, a toothpick and the tiny lil round watch batteries in her bed. I had 4 batteries and only found 3 so I worry that's what she ate.
She acts like her mouth hurts and yawns constantly now. I think I'm gonna have to find a new veterinarian but now it will be a month or longer before I can afford to take her. |
Did the vet do blood work?? Did the vet OFFER to do it? If so, you need to do it.
Her throat is irritated and she does not HAVE to be febrile to need antibiotics. If you think s he swallowed a battery, tell the vet and have xrays done
You CAN go to a different vet .. but, if the new one is saying the same things, please listen.
BTW dogs can go 2 or 3 days without a BM and not be constipated.
