I don't know why this
dog died --- unknown or unintentional surgical complications, underlying metabolic disease, bleeding disorder, improper home care, etc. — but I do know that the owners had
bred this
dog, have had
several of their
dogs spayed at our clinic before without issue, they declined bloodwork, they didn't
reveal pertinent medical history before surgery, and they didn't call or seek medical attention when they knew something wasn't right.
