Sad My Yorkie 14 years old passed last Tuesday the 21.

I am so sad and frustrated about the Veterinary I was taking my dog to. She had Collapse Trachea but she was doing well under Torbutrol and Temaril-P medication. She was also on Denamarin treatment for 3 months to improve her liver. On Tuesday she started coughing and I called the Vet and requested him for an appointment. They gave me an appointment for next Friday. I asked him should I increase the dose of Torbutrol to tried to control her cough before I bring her on Friday? He said yes. I increased the medication and took her for her appointment. He made X rays and Liver Profile. The diagnose was fluid in her lungs and send me home with Foroquid a diuretic. I gave her the diuretic twice on Friday. On Saturday morning she did not want to eat and had diarrhea. After the diarrhea she discharge a stream of fresh blood. I rush her to the Veterinary and he gave her IV and prescribed an antibiotic called Metronidazole. On Sunday she will not eat. Monday I took her back to the Vet in the morning and he gave her more IV. He prescribed a special food high in nutrition and calories and asked me to feed her with a syringe. On the same day I feeded her twice only a teaspoon of the food with dilute with water as indicated. Monday night my dog didn't sleep walking around the house and hiding in different places. Tuesday morning she was so weak could not walk and started having seizures. I rush to the Hospital and they told me her blood sugar was low and her blood pressure. They tried to save her but they told me she stop breathing. I am heart broken and thinking that maybe I could have done something different or that the Veterinary was Negligent. She was 14 but she was fine. I am trying to figure out if the blood that she defecated was a sign of some kind of liver or heard malfunction. I am just thinking and thinking why things went wrong? I am not clear why will the Veterinary keep sending me home and will not recommend to hospitalize her. Have someone lived an experience like this before. Or does someone knows these medications that my dog was prescribed? Any comment will be appreciated. I never thought my dog was going to died that soon.
