Today July 13th at 6:30pm I brought my chihuahua to the vet for a stomach problem, they quoted me $500 to run some test. I told them I would go home to discuss with my wife and come back in the morning. They then pushed for a steriod shot which I accepted thinking it was the right thing to do. 30 minutes later, just as I walk in the house, my dog dies in my hands. We are in pieces right now! What can I do?
Cortisone
I took my 14 year old cat to the vet because she was limping. The Dr. determined it was her elbow, and gave her a shot of cortisone. My cat stopped eating, and 48 hours later I had to put her down. The cortisone may have brought to light an underlying problem, renal failure. I know she would have shown symptoms eventually, it all just happened so fast.
Cortisone
Cortizone shot: I had 12 year old Lab in healthy condition.Within two weeks he begin vomiting became lethargic. Took him to the vet died two days later.dont know if the cortizone shot weakened his resistance or not. Vet said he died of a bacteria that went toxic.
