DOG ANTIFREEZE QUESTIONS! NEED FAST ANSWERS PLEASE!?

It probably licked it up off the ground. I wouldn't assume that someone poisoned it intentionally. Dogs are stupid. 14 is a very old age for a dog. That translates to about 100 in human years. Shouldn't have bothered with X-Rays. Just a waste of money. Let it die; it's lived a long, full life. Your choice whether to shell out even more $$ to put it down quickly or let it die naturally.

I had a similar experience just weeks ago, except my dog was 10 years old, dying about 1.5 years earlier than he was supposed to due to sudden acute liver failure. After we found out, we let him live for one more day, just so he could see all of us before he died and so that we could all say our goodbyes, and then the next day, we had him euthanized.

I think you should put him down. 14 years is a good long life, maybe even longer than normal, depending on the breed. He's probably had a great time living with you. The fact that you'd type something like this means you care very much for your dog. Dogs are often very aware of when they're being put down, and I don't think he'd mind being put down if you were there with him because of how much you care for him.

Yes, it is very hard to put your dog down. I started crying profusely as I watched my dog drift off to sleep. It was hard, and it's still kinda stings a bit.

But I think it'd be better to put him down. You don't know if you'll be home or at work when he dies. You should be there for him when he passes.

And also, it's a little inhumane to allow him to suffer for a few more days.

EDIT: And Valor D is right. You should have gotten just blood tests at the most. X-rays cost WAY too much. At least blood tests have a slightly more manageable price.

Has she been around any ponds, lakes or even still areas of a river? Maybe even large puddles of stagnant water. There is a blue/green algae (can't think of the name of it right now); that will cause EVERY symtom you listed. This has been reported all over the nation, but much of it in the upper mid-west. It can be fatal, but if they treat fast enough dogs can be saved. Try going to Google and typing in: "blue/green algae + death in dogs". If you can find this information RUSH it to your Vet. I would not give up on a dog so young and previously healthy. If necessary, seek a second opinion. Good luck and get going.

I'm Sorry for you an your family an dog, but I personally think it would be best to put your dog to rest, I had to put my dog down, after 8yrs, he was suffering from kidney failure, an was in alot of pain, one week later it was on the news about the dog food having rat poisin ...
