What would cause a puppy of about 5 months old to die within 24 hours?
onyx1unicorn asked:
My neighbors puppy started vomiting the day before yesterday, and last night he died. When he first started vomiting, they called the vet right away, but the vet wouldn’t even talk to them without a visit and wouldn’t see the puppy without payment up front, (which I thought was really cruel!). The puppy continued to weaken and died the next day. We don’t know if it was a disease or if he ate something he shouldn’t have or if someone gave him something. The other dogs here in the neighborhood (including mine) were off their food for a day or so and inactive, but they are much bigger dogs and much older than the puppy. My dogs don’t roam free, when they are out, they are tied on a lead. So that leads me to believe it was some sort of disease. Now our worry is for the other puppy in the neighborhood (the brother of the one that died). He is vomiting slightly and won’t eat or drink, but I did manage to get him to eat a Milk Bone. What is your opinion of what happened to Rusty?
They called all three vets in the area. All said the same….payment up front. They wouldn’t even consider payment options. The owners of both puppies are between paychecks and were not prepared for emergencies. Basically live pay check to pay check. One vet told the owner of the living puppy that it’s a sad reality of life that puppies die. It happens every day. As for needles, i’m not sure if they had them yet. As for 24hr emerengy vet, there are none around here.
I completely understand that vets do not work for free, no one was asking them to. Believe it or not, not everyone who can’t pay a bill today is going to walk away from the bill. Not everyone is prepared for emergencies. THAT IS A REALITY OF LIFE! I think it was unfair to say that you shouldn’t have a dog because you aren’t totally prepared. You may be prepared today, but what if you suddenly found yourself without a job and are relying on employment insurance benefits or welfare. Should you get rid of your animals because of a temporary situation? And what if you have children that are attached to the animal? What do you tell them? Thank you to everyone for their input. I was thinking it was parvo, but never having experience with it, I wasn’t sure. I’ll be watching my dogs more closely.

For years especially if you back so what it is nearly impossible to vet and the body were taken to be more than that and didnt they wanted why didnt they call.
For their pets you know if the first vet there would have up front now even with unpaid bills extremely costly equipment medications laundryetc dont think the heck the vet in your area most vets do want their pets more.
An overhead to positively diagnose even with secretary vet there must be certain it could have up to have been parvo can kill puppy very quickly over night actually when they call others am sure there would have up front now even if this pup had its vaccinations all of them parvo do want their payment up to date professional care for.
