SO MAD, please read!!

[bjh]

I must be missing something here. Yesterday on another thread you posted this:

I can't believe she is gone. I can't stop crying. I couldn't watch them do it, I just spent some time with her there holding her and telling her how much I loved her and that she was going to feel no pain any more and be happy and not have to hurt any more ever again. It was so hard, it hurts so much. I will never hold her again or see her beautiful little face. Theres been something wrong with her since I've gotten her, I knew deep down inside there was, but we never got to the bottom of it. I hope you all understand and don't bash me for having her put to sleep but if you all could of been there, it was just horrible. Rest in peace my little Stormy angel

You thought she was already dead when you posted that and then you find out the vet did not have the heart to put your precious baby to sleep because he had compassion in his heart to try and save her. If he had examined her how do you know that he did not give her something to ease her pain? Why are you mad? This vet saved your babies life and wanted to give her a second chance. If you don't have the funds for her treatment and this vet says he can save her then why did you take her away? I don't know what is wrong with your baby and yes she may be hurting but if she is young and otherwise healthy then please seek treatment for her, even if it means giving her up. I am sorry you are having to go through all this, I know it hurts when our little one suffer.

I don't want to judge but seldom will a vet step in and want to take custody unless he sees something that does not sit right with him. Possibly the funds to fix her, possibly something else, but please think beyond your own feelings and allow this vet to do what is necessary to ease her suffering and fix her even if that does mean giving her up to him. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is the right thing. Elaine

OMG! I was completely stupefied after reading your post! I have never heard of such a shocking thing in all of my life. I would definitely take Stormy asap as others have said to another vet. Also writing everything down as another suggested is a good idea too. After getting Stormy the care that she needs started; I would contact whatever the agency is called that is the vet equivalent of the medical licensing board and lodge a complaint. Perhaps, yours is not the first nor only complaint. I would then consult with an attorney only after you've received a "diagnosis" of Stormy's condition and if the delay in proper treatment has harmed her. Then, an attorney can probably let you know whether you have a case or not.
In the meantime, you could warn anyone you know with a pet not to use this vet and why. You could twitter it. As long as it is factual; it is not slander nor libel.
I cannot believe that someone who became a vet could be so heartless to be both Stormy and yourself. I wish you all the best with Stormy.

While I am sorry for what you had to go through but if Stormy is able to be fix, this is definitely a blessing. Stormy has been given a second chance hopefully. The handling of this whole situation has been less than professional but Stormy is still alive and for that I am even grateful for.

At this point, hopefully this vet didn't give you any false hopes, if she can be fix and if's money you are worry about maybe the folks here on YT can start a donation fund for Stormy to help with expenses.

I don't get it. Stormy was dropped off at the vets to be killed. A different vet came in and saw her and felt he could save her. What is the complaint? This vet showed compassion and after observing the dog and felt she could be saved. People have their dogs put down all the time because they can afford treatment or have no hope. This vet gave them hope. Something is missing out of this story. The dog was supposedly critical but yet she was grabbed up and taken home and now the owner is going to seek treatment after wanting her dog killed.

I believe the story went something like this:

She brought Stormy in sick, A vet told her nothing could be done for Stormy she was in pain and suffering and recommended putting her down immediately. She made the PAINFUL decision to have Stormy put down but decided not to stay in the room while it was actually done. She said her goodbyes to Stormy and went home. 5 hours later she got a phone call that Stormy was not put down yet and a DIFFERENT vet told her he thought he could save her, IF she would sign her over to him. She was told they were too busy to put Stormy down for 5 hours, so she was in a cage and suffering (like they told her) for 5 hours. (maybe she was not suffering, but the vet told her she was and that was the last she knew)

Yes its wonderful that Stormy is still alive, yes its wonderful that her condition may be able to be treated, but HOW does a vets office not get around to putting a suffering animal down for 5 hours??? How do they tell her there is nothing she/they can do for Stormy, make her make the AWFUL decision of putting her beloved pet down and then TAKE IT ALL BACK 5 hours later?? The whole situation may have been not done on purpose, but there was a lot of animal and human suffering there. This vets office seems more disorganized than shady honestly (they could have kept stormy but they did call her) ... but either way.... this girl has the right to be upset. You would be too if you had to make such a painful decision and then be told it was all for nothing. Its heart wrenching.

HARSH! She did not want her dog KILLED! I think you need to read her story on BOTH posts. She was TOLD by the VET there was no hope. If Stormy was critical why did the vets office put her in a cage instead of putting her to sleep immediately??? She took her dog in for TREATMENT. She was TOLD there was no treatment. Then told 5 hours later to sign her dog over and some other vet will save her.

I am so sorry you have to go through this. Is it possible that Stormy could have eaten something that perforated her bowel? We went through this with Ziggy in January-main symptoms were not eating/drinking/pooping, vomitting, fever, excessive sleeping, big hard belly and blood on bottom. He was in and out of the vet a few times before we opted for exploratory surgery and the vet found many perforations in his bowel. His belly was fully of liquid and feces. She was able to repair the damage after a long and expensive surgery and he is back to normal now. We will never know what caused the damage.

I would ask the vet who wants to keep her what he thinks is wrong with her since he feels that he can save her. Definitely a second opinion is in order and some pain meds for that poor baby!

Where in Canada are you located?

[YorkieOwned5]

Hi, I am also saddened. Shocked is more the word. I wonder if the new vet thought he could save her or just use her for something else, more sinister. God I hope not. When you go to the new vet, you might NOT want to tell him what the other vets have told you. Give him a blank page to work with, then if he orders some of the same test you can assume that mabe he knows what he's talking about. Now if he goes in the opposite direction of what you've been told then you can tell him the HELL you have been thru. I wouldn't mention the other vets name UNTIL he has told you what he thinks is wrong and what he plans to do about it. That is when you can break out all of your paperwork of what HAS been done and what was SUGGESTED, to put her down and the rest of the horrible story. When you are satisfied with his findings and treatment, GO AFTER THE FIRST VET WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, TO THE NEWSPAPER AND ANYPLACE YOU CAN THINK OF. HITTING HIM WHERE IT HURTS....HIS WALLET... God Bless You, In my Prayers. Sharon, PIXI & SPIKE..

I think we all go to our vets hoping to be able to trust them. I certainly know that when I go, I don't want to second guess what they are telling me - what would be the purpose in going? If you have taken your precious baby to your vet, she is suffering greatly - which it sounds like Stormy was - and the vet suggests that "putting her to sleep" is the best and most humane thing to do, most people would follow their vet's advice. To suggest that this OP should have done otherwise is mean and cruel....

[Wylie's Mom]

Could the OP please update on what is going on w/ Stormy? For multiple reasons, this thread and the other one is very concerning. Is Stormy back with you or still at the vet? What is the diagnosis and prognosis?

That is what happen. We had a very busy weekend with family over. Stormy is very shy and happen to stay in bed the whole day Sunday. That is common for her when people are around. She has been having a problem with her eye for the past couple weeks. We were in two weeks ago and she was acting the same way as she was yesterday so I had brought her in and it turned out it was an ulcher on her eye, after a couple days she was back to normal. Yesterday she started to act a bit strange. I am easily worried and since I was home by myself I started to freak out because we have had some scares with her. The only thing I could think of was rush her in to the vet so I did. I told him I don't want her suffering any more if theres something more serious wrong with her then I don't want to make her keep going through this. He checked her over, said she has blood in her anal cavity (strange because she was not pooping blood earlier that day) I had first thought she had low blood sugar as her gums were pale greyish, I gave her nutrical before I left for the vet. He told me that she was in CRITICAL CONDITION and that he could do a bunch of tests to try and figure out what was wrong but he said he doesn't think theres anything he can do for her, he said she was DYING! He suspected she had blood in her chest, he thought it was in her stomach as well, he stuck needles in her trying to see if he could find blood which he couldn't find any! He said we should put her down because shes suffering and we could waste hundreds but theres no guarantee because she was in SUCH BAD SHAPE. This is all what he was saying. Now that I think about it she's very scared at the vets, they had two people holding her down and doing all these too her, she must of been very scared and stressed out. I opted to put her down because I thought that was the best thing to do, my mother was there also and said she would TAKE HER HOME and he said that wasn't a good idea!

5 hours later they call me because ANOTHER vet looked at her and thought that it wasn't serious enough to put her to sleep. He said since money is an issue for me he would fix her up and keep her. Money IS an issue if he was wanting all these things done to her if they were for no reason. She would be DEAD ALREADY if she was in such BAD shape. She is home now and after a nights rest she is feeling better, I can tell she is sore and extra cuddly, but she is SO happy to be home. She's ate, drank and went poop fine WITHOUT blood. I have been to the vet more times in the past 6 months then people go probably in two years. Just because I am not rich doesn't mean I have to give my dog away. I am doing the best I can for her and I don't need some rude people telling me I wanted to KILL MY DOG. I SAVED THIS DOG FROM A BAD SITUATION if you don't know the story don't comment. I am hurt over this whole thing.


I have just gotten up now after being up with her all night, she is not acting funny at all and seems to be fine and normal now that she is home. The vet from last night said he thinks she could possibly have the blood problem from allergies or even a parasite. He was more concerned about her nose because he said he would fix it up. Well her nose is fine and is the least of my worries at the moment!

I agree. if the only chance she has in getting better is with the vet who wants to adopt her, than be it. I know its easier for us to say that. I might have done just what you did. I wont wish this situation even on my enemy.

I am just saying something is missing. The op said she dropped her off and could not stay with her. It sounded to me like she had made up her mind before she got there that she needed to be put to sleep. The op later said she thought she just had low blood sugar. All I know is that a different vet came in later, examined her and said he could save her. If it were my dog I would thank the lord and not be mad. Kudos to that vet. I just hope the little dog is getting proper treatment.

Excuse me who the heck do you think you are? I didn't want to STAY IN THE ROOM AND WATCH THEM PUT MY DOG TO SLEEP. That doesn't make me a bad person. I, myself could not handle watching something like that, I couldn't handle watching ANY dog being put down. I opted to leave so I didn't want to watch it happen.

and from my understanding they were doing the procedure THEN. We said our goodbyes and they took her away. 5 hours later I get a call that they didn't do it because they got busy and another vet had seen her! I went in thinking of one thing wrong with her and was told another thing by the vet.
