Im a sorry to half to tell you all this but my little Red boy has passed away this morning.
On Thursday morning I had woken up hearing Damien heaving, I thought to myself oh no what did he get himself into . I had noticed that he had vomited up some small chunk of wood, so I had just thought well ill keep an eye on him, we all know how puppies like to get into stuff.
Late morning he had an appontment with a local Doberman breeder to get his ears re-taped, we go there every week to let him run and socialize with some other dobies.As soon as Judy took a look at him she said that he was dehydrated, and asked what had happened. So after explaining the story to her we had agreed to bring him into the vet asap.
I got to the 1st vet at 4pm we went in to see what was going on with him .The vet pretty well told me that his heart was very erratic and all over the place, and that I should just keep him on fluids for the night, and then go get his heart checked out because she said it was not good. She had told Mel and I that he could possibly have Parvo but was not sure ,she did absolutley no testing on him she was more concerned about his heart then what was causing his heart to beat like this.
I immediately called my breeder and spoke with her on what had just happened, she called the vet immediately and was really upset , because he had just got his first shots 3 weeks ago and had the whole litter looked over bye their vet and there was nothing wrong with Damien. She was also upset that the vet had said it could be parvo but never treated for it and just sent me home. I did not know what parvo was just to let you know and did not know how serious it was.
Around 11 pm he was looking a lot worse then he had at 4 pm. I had been force feeding him with a syringe (Gatorade for the dehydration & kibble mushed up to give him something) I also gave him some Pepto Bismol to help his little tummy. Bye 12:30am he was getting really bad could not lay down and was moaning in pain, so I had said to Mel lets go to the emergency I cant handle this anymore I could not wait the night out.
We got there and they rushed him in and they did a parvo test and gave him IV, The Parvo test came back negative so I was a little relived. The vet had said that they were going to do ex-rays and do blood work and would call us back in the morning .She said his heart had went back down to normal and was feeling more relaxed with the pain killers.
We got a call in the morning that he had passed away in the early morning and could not hold on any longer ..he was bleeding from the nose and had
died from some sort of poison ingestion.I broke down and could not belive what had happened, I thought he was going to pull through.
We Have been looking around the house all day on what he could have been into , but there is honestly nothing I can think of. Until i was told that there has been alot of cases in my neiborhood of people throwing treats into yards that are coated with either anti freeze or Rat poison cause they just hate dogs.
I did not know that this kind of stuff was going on. It seemed like a really nice area and the dogs were going to have a lot of room outside to play.
Mel and I have been just having a horible time with this, we had saved & saved and did research on a reputible Breeder , Got are little guy and was getting very excited on showing him.Everybody that had seen him could not belive how beutiful he was and what great temperment he had, he was not afraid of anything, he was ready to take on the world.
I am having a really hard time with this, and having a hard time to not blame myself for what has happened.I feel at fault for not watching him every second on what he was doing.
I loved him so much and just want him back I miss you Damien:sadcry:
