Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!?

well i dont want to critize-- and this website was probably first made so people who are well educated can answer your smart, intelligent questions- but now it is more like ask stupid, silly questions and get people to answer that know nothing about your questions just to get points or critize you- and i dont think thats thats right and im with you all the way

so now if u really want a smart, intelligent answer dont come to this site-- and dont take major risks on what people on this site say

i hope that ur dog will be okay, cause i have already lost many dogs in my life and i know that it isnt easy- and u r a good person for caring so much about your dog and spending so much money on her

god bless you

A very sick mama dog is an extremely stressful situation. And I understand your anger at some of the answers that you received. It is normal for you to want to vent back to these folks some of your anger and frustration. So, try to remain calm and keep your focus on your dog & pups. Don't let this cloud your true goal - a healthy dog. And yes, I would love to know this outcome.

Kudos to you for your quick action in caring for 7 pups! It isn't easy!

I wish that more people would realize that there are situations that stump even the best of vets. While the calicum issue is the most common with these symptoms, it is not the only cause. And your dedication to this dog and her pups is very, very admirable.

So, you know that you are responding to this crisis in the best manner possible. You are doing all you can do in an extremely difficult situation. Let God sort out the rest. Peace

Just as a question- did anyone do radiographs or an ultrasound. I know that we have had lab work turn out great, but we still opened the dog up and found some unpleasant things in there. What kind of dog was it? Where the pups born naturally or through c- section and if c-section, was she spayed at the same time? Hope the university can help!

Wrongs can be different between cultures and can change over time. Some cultures believe that certain food must be prepared in a certain way and it is wrong to do otherwise. That wrong my have evolved before refrigeration was available and so may no longer be applicable. Even so, there will be some who follow the tradition just because it worked for prior generations. For people who believed in the necessity for racial purity some people it was wrong to have integrated schools, shared restaurants and bathrooms. For people who believed in male superiority, it used to be wrong for women to expect equal pay. For populations that were dying because of disease or loss of life in war and natural disaster, one can imagine that homosexuality was discouraged because it diverted sexual energy from reproduction. I suspect that if you check the 10 Commandments you will find that each was described to discourage actions that tended to have bad results for those societies at that time and probably still does. In many cases, just as you have described and to the developed world of the 21st century, these bad results appear quite logical. In Biblical times, only a few understood the logic or had the wisdom. Moses was very wise indeed and knew that the long suffering Tribes would never have believed he could personally have such wisdom but if he described these as the words of God, well . . . . . .

I am certainly no vet, and could be way off base....but was she ever X-rayed, to make sure she didn't have a dead puppy still inside? Also, was her throat checked to make sure she didn't have an obstruction?

Sometimes we can't "see the forest, for the trees".

Having just had puppies, the doctors could be looking into puppy-related things....when it could be something else entirely. Having nothing to do with giving birth.

That could be throwing them in the wrong direction, for a correct diagnosis.

Just a thought. As I said, I'm not a vet.

i know you are upset that you paid that kind of money, but, im sure everyone was trying to help you and your dog. what if everyone would have told you there was nothing wrong with your dog that it was just normal after having puppies and your dog died because you didnt do anything. at least now you have the peace of mind that your dog is fine, although it really doesnt sound like it to me, but i am not a vet. the bottom line is, if there is anything wrong or abnormal about your animals health, common sense is, go to the vet!!!

i don't know what you got in answer but vaginitis been checked in to i don't know how old they are when they can get this you said her so i am taking it is a girl small dog mature faster is their a rise in hormone levels? If this is what she has you half to wait it out but i am sure your vet would have came up with this hope it nothing bad keep us up to day glad to know your a responsible owner i know how it is when you half to pay a lot for a bill and not get any answer but hang in their i hope it come out all right she so young .

I never saw your original post. Did the vets check to see if anything was left in the uterus. Did they rule out pyometria? I hope your dog gets better quick.

I am very sorry to hear about your poor dog, i hope everythign works out for her as well as for you . You are a wonderful person for takineg the time and money to check out other vets!
