I’m devastated. Beyond any way I can describe. My 3year old podenco woke up Tuesday morning acting very strangely and was obviously very unwell. I took him straight to the vet who said he probably had an infection and administered AB’s.
I took him back two hours later as he was being very sick. He kept falling over, his eyes were rolling back, and his head kept jerking to the side. The vet said he obviously felt very sick and gave an anti sickness drug. He told me to give the medicine a chance to work and go back Wednesday morning.
Two hours after that visit I phoned the nearest vet hospital and asked for a second opinion. I took him straight in where he was admitted immediately and they began tests and made him comfortable. The next day he was having seizures and had went downhill very quickly and the diagnosis of meningitis came back. It got to the point where there was no chance of recovery and we made our way in to say our goodbyes.
While we were signing the forms we were informed that he had stopped breathing on his own.
I have been crying constantly since. His bed is empty, his lead and collar hanging up. I’m so so lost without him. I don’t know how to cope.
