one of our puppies died today, a little maltese. his blood sugar would not stay up, and he didn't pull through. our vet doesn't know why he got sick. one day he was fine, the next he had diarreah, our vet saw him that day, sunday, and thought he was very healthy and probably just a little something, she gave him albon. next day he still had diarreah, and vomiting, he wouldn't eat, and spent the day at the vet, worse by the end of the day. during the night he got much worse and I took him to emergency vet, where they got blood sugar up. then today back to my vet and he never came back. his symptoms were not parvo symptoms, just normal diarreah and vomiting. i hate not knowing what caused this, how it could have been prevented, diagnosed, etc., am wondering if my vet did all they could early on. any help or ideas would be much appreciated. thank you.

sometimes puppies or any baby animal will die from one thing or another. I've known from past experience that even slight temperature changes in a house can cause puppies to get sick and die. :\ Not my own experience, but one of a close friend. She lost all but two puppies out of a litter of 6 because the temperature changed too much (got too cold) and their bodies couldn't handle it. Or, it could be any number of things. Death happens <:\ sorry to hear about it though. IP: Logged |

That is so sad. You did what you could for the malt. I'm sure he left a dent in your heart though. (((hugs))) ------------------ IP: Logged |
