kx100 66 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 well two weeks ago the terier went in to a bad way so we took her to the vets and she said its slipd discs so she gave us pain killers and said give her plenty of rest so the terrier has been in the cage 24/7 apart from toilets then she went really bad lasy night worse than before so we took her to vets today and they are now saying its nothing to do with her back its her organs or womb and they said she might have to go for a operation that is going to cost thousands and they said its not fair as shes such a wee dog then they said best option is to get her pts but we dont know whats happening yet till they phone us back Quote Link to post

Rik 49 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 let her go fella,dont let the vets rob you buy yourself a new dog if she wont be 100%. i I know its hard to do but in the long run it will be better all round,sorry mate Quote Link to post
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Can she walk ,does she yelp whilst doing so,does she strain whilst passing motions and is there blood in it if so what colour .If its the second diagnosis then an infection of the uterus is the most likely which is bad news mate as antibiotics dont seem to touch infection there . If shes worth it then size has nothing to do with any treatment .PM me if preferred. Quote Link to post

sallie 67 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Surely if the vet wrongly diagnosed they should cough up towards the operation . But, if she is in a bad way it may be kinder to let her go and change your vet for the future. Have you thought about getting a second opinion from a different vet Good luck Quote Link to post
stando 177 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 How's your terrier this morning young man? Quote Link to post
shotgunny 39 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hope she is Ok mate but as the lads said if she's that bad best thing for her peace and no pain. It's hard to do but much kinder to the dog in the long run. Atb sg Quote Link to post
skycat 6,173 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 They must be a really lousy vet if they thought that a pyometra was a back problem: :censored: I think you should have some serious words with them. Sounds to me like a serious neglect of duty and failure to offer the right kind of care to an animal. 1 Quote Link to post
