Hello all... Just wanted to let you know it's been about 6 months since the traumatic experience of spaying, seizures and blindness for Eevee. So far, she's doing ok. We had to switch her food to Royal Canine Hepatic LS 14 (I know it's bad, but she eats this stuff and it was vet recommended) and...

Hello all. I have a question regarding a heart worm preventative. The breeder told me never to use heardguard on shelties because some shelties react badly to it and can have seizures. So I've been buying interceptor for Eevee. However, ever since her liver issue flared up after spaying, I'm...

We saw a specialist yesterday First of all, thank you soooo much for your prayers and good thoughts sent our way. We really appreciate it. Eevee is doing well. Eating, popping, pering playing etc. she gets diarrhea from lactulose but each time I'm decreasing the dose to find a right one...

Breeder said she will take Eevee back. That's all. My husband didn't ask about getting another puppy or covering vet bills and the breeder didn't mention them either. Contract doesn't specify what the health guarantee was/is. It says to get the vet to check puppy and send report back to her...

Appt with a specialist My husband spoke with the breeder. She said none of Eevee's littermates have reported same problem. Basically she said she will take Eevee back if Eevee needs to be put to sleep. In the contract all it says is "Health guarantee is void if lepto is ever given". Nothing...

Confirmed liver shunt Hello. Just received a call from the vet. Eevee's BAT before is 60 and after is 249. They said its consistent with dogs with liver shunt. They are referring us to a specialist. I just called to ask the pricing at our vet teaching hospital. Complete diagnosis is $900-$1300...

I don't think any of this is anyone's fault. Eevee had no signs of liver problems so we had no idea. Low cost clinic did everything they could for Eevee during and after surgery. My only frustration is with my ex-Vet's collgeagues who tried to scare me to get very expensive tests done, rather...

Update Ok. We took Eevee to another vet on Sat. She says we need to do bile acid test. Not an ultrasound first. So Eevee's at the vet right now... Again... New vet also doesn't think 5 UTI's Eevee had, was not UTI's since she was and currently is not showing symptoms of UTI. She thinks it might...

Another update After 8 hrs of IV fluids, Hills l/d food and on lactulose for 1 day, Eevee is back to her perky self today. Thank goodness. The vet left the catheter in her front leg just incase we needed to do more IV fluids today. Took her back to the vet this morning and they took the...

The clinic I went to, did not offer any blood works. If I had a choice, I would have opted for one. I thought all clinics were like that, but I guess not. When I spoke to the vet at the clinic the night Eevee was spayed, she was very concerned and very helpful. Before I went to pick Eevee up...

Yes, I know. The lady vet didn't make Eevee sick. She's only trying to help. I'm just sooo frustrated with everything and being mad at myself. The other vet I called today was telling me that the lady vet should have waited few weeks to do the blood test because anesthesia can increase liver...

Lady vet said she doesn't think the seizure was related to anesthesia because it's been almost 6 days. She thinks Eevee has liver issues that we didn't know about and the seizure is due to the toxins that built up in Eevee's bloodstream gone to the brain. Eevee has had 4 UTi's since we got her...

I had no idea that blood works are supposed to be done before spay/neuter. All my neighbors and friends went to low cost clinic to get their dogs spay/neutered. When I told them that I was thinking of going to my vet, they said theres no need. This is our first ever dog, so we didn't know...

Ok. My vet is still away on a vacation. This lady vet just charged me $220 for IV fluids and $10 for medication. I feel totally ripped off!! The vet below told me they charge $20-30 for IV. Why such price differences?? Anyway, I called a guy I know from Sheltie Rescue of Indiana and asked...

Back from a visit to the vet Thank you everyone for your prayers and well wishes. It is very comforting to know that we have so much support. Our regular vet is still on vacation so we saw one of his colleagues. She thinks that Eevee had a seizure last night. Drooling, sudden blindness...
