That feeling you get after a good grooming!
This is going to be a long post, but I am hoping I can help someone else not to have to go through what we did. I have done a lot of research the past few days trying to get some answers on what happened to Rosie. I was told it was complications from the anesthesia, but the more I looked into a medication called Vetmedin which she was prescribed prior to surgery the more I am convinced that drug is what ultimately caused her death. I have had multiple dogs who have had a heart murmur had surgery and they had zero complications. That is why this situation bothered me so much.
Wednesday April 10th I took Rosie to the vet to have her leg x-rayed at a vet in Abbeville. Found out she had a heart murmur. Not unusual in small breeds. Scheduled an appointment at the vet in Lake Charles. That vet also recommended she take Vetmedin to βstrengthenβ her heart prior to surgery.
Friday April 12th picked up a Vetmedin from the vet in Abbeville.
Saturday the 13th and Sunday the 14th I gave her the medication and noticed she was having side effects. She was not eating very much, very lethargic, coughing, and breathing abnormally. Immediately discontinued the medication!
Wednesday April 17th I dropped her off at the vet. I informed them that she had side effects from the medication and they told me they would have her checked before doing her surgery the next day.
Thursday April 18th she has surgery to get spayed. There was nothing they could do for her leg, so there was procedure done.
Friday April 19th I picked her up at the vet in Lake Charles.
Monday April 22nd the vet in Lake Charles called to check on Rosie. I told them she was still not eating well, very lethargic, and breathing abnormally. Almost the exact same symptoms as before. They told me she was probably in pain to call my vet and get her some pain meds.
Tuesday April 23rd at about 7:15 she comes back inside after going potty outside and she is breathing very heavy. Minutes later
These two right here! π€£
Just sit there for a minute and think about what you have done! ππ
His first reaction was his mom (who does not drive a school bus π) was here to pick him up. His second reaction was having his heart broken as the bus drove away. π₯Ίπππ»
When I spray the cologne that is the exact moment he realizes he is done getting groomed!
So much hair! That does not include the handful I pulled out of the tub after bathing him.
And the winner is Donna Mire!
Apparently Bailey thought I had the dog bed in the wrong place. π
