Please note we have been at vets for last 3 hours!
My sister came downstairs this morning to her 1yo Spaniel lay in her crate, not greeting her.
She didn't want to come out of her crate. Sis got her out and saw her eye (pictured) and immediately called me then the vets.
Whilst on hold her dog was just sat, not following her, not attempting to move. She carried her outside, she would not wee.
Sis brought her back inside on couch and she almost fell off it. Dog collapsed, still awake but just fell flat.
I went to pick her up, she is registered with PDSA and by this time it was 10am and she had been trying to get through for an hour from 9am opening and all through car journey.
In vets was about 45min wait during which the dogs 2nd eye started to swell and lids fill with blood. She now has 2 blood filled eyes.
Dog urinates itself several times.
She then started chomping rapidly with lots of foam coming out of her mouth.
Dog is completely ignoring her name/calls/clicks etc.
Get into vets. Vets looked at eyes, felt tummy. Weighed her and asked questions about toxins, weed etc (non known to be present in house)
She took dog to see another vet to consult.
She comes back and says dogs temperature is fine and we will give her some eye drops.
Thats it. Eye drops. I said she is urinating herself, she is not responding to her name, she is frothing, she doesn't want to move. She cannot stand for more than a minute. She is a 1 year old spaniel, she is usually bouncing off the walls. Surely there is something else going on?
She said to take her home with eyedrop and ring back if anythings changes (yeah good luck ringing back when they don't answer the emergency phone line)
We took dog to waiting area for meds and tried standing her up, she stood for about 1 mins getting head scratches and collapsed. She fell right on her face, legs given out from under her.
The staff at counter see this and rush to help her and take her back to vet.
We got back into vets who says 'we couldn't find where the blood was coming from'
What blood? Nobody mentioned blood, they thought she had started bleeding??
They then said they will run a blood test.
We wait and blood test is normal.
She days they will prescribe an anti inflammatory and a flea treatment that covers lungworm.
Vet then says the dog is probably just tired. I said she collapsed, she said she doesn't think she collapsed she just 'lay down'
I said she fell heavily and her fell flat against the floor.
She just said to ring if we need to.
Does anyone have a clue what could be going on with her?
We kept trying to push to find out and they hust kept saying they don't know and to take her home.
I just feel really weird about it! Surely a dog in that state should be admitted?
