Here's a sad reminder about how life - saving drugs can also be extremely dangerous: Five
dogs have died after
eating skin cream their owners were using to treat cancer, the
Food and Drug Administration announced in a statement
yesterday.
Good day Dr. my name is Jeandre our Jackrussel sadly passed away today her name was Ruby, the symptoms started
yesterday, (the day before
yesterday she was still playfull) when we arrived from work we saw that she look very off and took her to the vet right away, the vet said to us it looks like a problem in the abdominal area, he gave her a couple of shots and said we can take her home for observation and if nothing changes we must come back, when we arrived at home she did not whant to
eat anything and was very drowsy we tired to give het a small piece of steak but was not interested at all, she took a small walk and pooped, her poop was like dark black, grey and slobby, we also saw a square piece in the stool and did not think much of it as she also
eats dog food pellets, the smell was very bad, she also vommited like a clear watery substance i think two times, we too her back to the vet this moring and the vet inserted a tempreture pen from behind, while it was her he felt and squeezed in the abdominal area then pen ejected like she pooped (because of the squeez) red blood was present.
We got home
yesterday, and today he
ate some of the science diet on his own and acting lethargic again... so it hit me, it had to be the science diet puppy
dog food... I started researching today and have already read at least 4 other cases similar to mine.
It is a perennial problem for small
dogs to be picky eaters, sometimes refusing to
eat food that
yesterday was just fine, sending concerned owners into a panic.
