Kai went to the rainbow bridge.... I had to have Kai put to sleep wed. The Vet told me she was in acute juevinile renal failure. Her BUN and Creatine levels where so high that she was in serious kidney failure. Has anyone heard of this before? She was 14 months old. The vet says it usually happens around 1 year , it's commmon in this breed and that it could be genitc or it could be a fluke. I am so destroyed over this. I have a 6 month old boy from some of the same blood lines that they want to test now. I have not been able to find anyone who knows anything about this , and the Vet had terrible bed side manners. She told me to hurry up and decide what I was going to do for Kai because she wanted to go eat her lunch. My husband and I feel like we have lost our child , and I feel like the Vet did not give us enough of a good bye....... :( |
What a crudey vet. I don't know the answers to your questions, but I am so sorry about Kai. She's your angel now. |
I am sorry for your loss. I would change vets that is a disgrace. My thoughts are with you and your family xx |
I am so sorry this has happend to you. Usually when you hear of kidney failure its in an older dog your Kia was so young. That is terrible that that vet made you make a decision so quick. I would never go back to that vet again. I am so sorry again. |
:( :( I am sooo sorry for your loss and that you had to be rushed :mad: . The vet should get some manners!!! :thumbdown |
Oh my goodness.... that is so sad! I can't believe your Vet could be so un-caring! It seems that sometimes some Dr's and Vets are around sickness and death so much, that they get use to it and can forget that it's devastating to the families. I'm so sorry that you had to go through that. My brother and his wife and family had to put a cat to sleep, but they had an amazing vet who sent them a sympathy card and even put their cats paw prints on a card for them. They were lucky, because they were able to feel some closure. You are in my thoughts.... your baby was so young. :( |
I'm SO SO SORRY ! That's awful for you... :( I hope someone can help explain the levels and can't believe your vet didn't spend more time with you explaining what this meant and had you make such a sudden decision.....that's just very sad to hear I just wanted to say how truly sorry I am and that had to be the hardest thing to do...and even though you weren't able to say the goodbyes you wanted to... she knew you were there..... Rest in Peace little Kai |
Oh wow, Im sorry I cant offer any advice on this subject. But I am amazed that a Vet would do you two that way!! Im so sorry to hear about her passing, but atleast she isnt suffering. BTW, I was recommended a Vet who does blood testing and supposively is the best in the US. I plan on having my dogs blood shipped to her for a general blood check up here soon. Heres the link: http://www.canine-epilepsy-guardian-...ic_testing.htm I would give her a call and ask her opinion on your situation.... |
I am so sorry to hear about your loss and like everyone else has said I would definetly change vets, that is very uncalled for! |

I\'m so sorry and my heart goes out to you. |
Im so sorry for your loss. |
I am sooo sorry for you loss and for the totally unprofessional manner in which this was handled by the vet. I am so angry and hurt for you after reading this post...how uncaring can the vet be??? Definitely find another vet, and consider reporting that one. No one should have to make such an important decision in haste and especially when all the tests/alternatives were not explained or explored. My heart just breaks for you...Rest in Peace Little One |
That is so sad, You will be in my thoughts. That vet sounds like a mad woman.. I would never go back there. May your boy be healthy and live to a ripe old age. |
I\'m so terribly sorry! Oh, how painful that must have been. Losing a baby is bad enough, but that vet! I\'d find a new one immediately! I\'m thinking of you and praying for your other pup. I bet he\'s fine though. Just because the bloodlines are the same doesn\'t mean they either inherited it, or that that gene is active and giving him problems. I hope not. |
