Dida is dieing after being at petsmart hotel! HELP - YorkieTalk.com Forums

kelsie123186 · 06-30-2009, 11:34 AM

This isnt about my Yorkie Bailey, Its about my moms shihtzu Dida, everyone is so knowledgable and helpful here that im hoping I can get some help! My mom droped Dida who is about 8 years old at the Petsmart pet hotel on the 22nd. When she came back on the 25th to pick her up she was told that Dida was at the Banfield pet hospitol because she had become ill and they were unable to get in contact with her. When she went to pick up Dida at Banfield the vet had said that dida had very low blood platels she was taken there earlyer that morning because someone had noticed blood on her muzzle and that she was bruising easily. The Banfield vet said she would be fine and sent her on her way with some meds. Now, 5 days later Dida is dieing! Dida NEVER had any health problems before! My mom droped off a perfectly healthy dog and got back a dieing dog! This all sounds very suspicious to me, first they were blaming it on a reaction to the vaccine she recieved (from a different vet) before she was droped off at banfield but Dida has never had a reaction to a shot and it was a whole 4 days later that she was rushed to the vet at banfield. Does anyone know what could have happend? Could she have been biten? I called the pet hotel to find out more answers and im just not getting them. I believe something happend to Dida while she was in their care. Please, if anyone has any advice or any idea of what could have happend to her please help!

Is your Mom taking her to her Vet

bchgirl · 06-30-2009, 11:40 AM

My advice would be to immediately take her to her regular vet.

I'm sorry she's ill and truly hope she gets well. However, if the worse does happen, I'd advise having a necropsy performed to determine the cause.

Good luck.

I am so sorry about little Dida and am not much help. It may help to take her to a different vet in case there is something they can do for her. I hope she pulls through and your mum gets answers as to what has happened.

kelsie123186 · 06-30-2009, 11:43 AM

she needs a blood transfusion or she will die is what the vet is saying... they dont have what they need to do it... Moms driving to vet that can do transfusion now...

Julie1760 · 06-30-2009, 11:45 AM

What did the vet say she has? Has she been seen by your mom's vet? This does sound strange. I'd try to get a day by day report on what exactly happen with her with in Petsmart!!

my prayers are with you, your mom and her dog. PLEASE keep us updated.

roxies_mom · 06-30-2009, 11:48 AM

This is horrible. She should probably make the vet that gave the vaccine aware that pet smart and their vet are blaming this all on the shot. I hope and pray that Dida will be ok. How sad to come home to this. Please keep us posted.

mscat · 06-30-2009, 11:57 AM

IMO, there is more to this. Did Dida end up with some kind of infection? did she have a fever? have a open wound ? something is not adding up right for her to become this sick. This does not have to do with anything in her vital organs? it is related to her blood count, then there is an infection going on. it is how she ended up with the infection in the first place , is what you need to try and find out. Shih Tzu's have very sensitive eyes , and ears.
Why was she muzzled?

Jemma · 06-30-2009, 01:30 PM

Maybe she means muzzle, the dog's face? And not actually a muzzle a dog wears? Her mother is at the vet now

Bay-Bay · 06-30-2009, 01:36 PM

OMG!!! I will be praying that your Mom's vet will be able to save little Dida. Please let us know how she is doing.

paulalowe6 · 06-30-2009, 01:37 PM

Prayers for your mom and that precious baby

AprilLove · 06-30-2009, 02:15 PM

I am so sorry your mom is going through this with her little Dida.

. Hopefully your mom is on her way to her regular vet. I don't have any more advice than what has been given. Once her baby is better (will keep her in our thoughts!) your mother should not give up on getting answers from the petsmart hotel personnel. Imho

angelakc · 06-30-2009, 02:32 PM

Omg.... your mom and Dida are in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us updated...
