Ele passed away 2 weeks ago, she was euthanized. We don't know what happened to her and was hoping someone would be able to help us. Here is a timeline of what happened on the day we had to take her in to be euthanized.
10a.m. Wednesday morning: Ele was given a 5-1 booster shot (which was her last one and she had been given 2 times previously), 1 oral wormer, and 1 wormer via an injection.
All day Ele was fine, she ate and drank normal and acted just as she usually did just not barking and that was about all I noticed that was wierd about her. She was crated quite a bit though because she got diarrhea last time she was wormed so I didn't want her to get it on the carpet.
8 p.m. on wednesday I noticed she was drooling really heavily in her crate, which I thought was pee. I took her outside and she was sort of unstable on her feet.
8:30p.m. Ele was drooling severely, was stumbling when she walked, when she sat her head cocked to the right side and she would fall over. She was shaking and would have what looked like seizures. I called the normal vet and got the answering machine and then contacted the emergency vet that my vet's machine reccomended.
10p.m. Ele went to sleep. I could not get her to wake up or stand or anything anymore. I couldn't get ahold of Mark or find a babysitter and with no car I just had to do the best that I could do. I kept her warm and tried to give her some fluids and tried canned dog food but she wouldn't take any of it.
12a.m. on thursday I was able to get her into the vets but at that time she was completely unresponsive, she would twitch her eyes if you petted her but that is about all. We immediately made the decision to have her euthanized because the vet told us that there was nothing that they could do they could put her on iv's and do bloodwork but basically they said there was no way she would survive. So we sat with her for a couple minutes and then they came in and put her to sleep.
We are devastated over this and just want some answers. Our vet has not talked to us since then and we have left a bunch of messages I drove up there and he was busy and couldn't talk to me. Our trainer thinks that she definetely had a reaction to the shots because they gave her stuff like heartguard and that is lethal to collies (which I didn't know). I hope we can find out what happened to her because I really need peace with this I have had a horrible time excepting that she is gone.
The emergency vet said that she was poisoned by something in the house but I have searched the house, and yard, and there is nothing that she could have gotten into. I have the house kid proofed and all chemicals are put up high. I didn't spray anything either and there was nothing in the yard. Then after I told them that they said she must have had a genetic defect (they said a liver shunt because she was so small).
If anyone has any input please let me know. I am so upset over this and having to put this baby down. She was just a baby and did not deserve that.
