Hi Folks,
The best bitch I have ever had the pleasure of owning has passed away. I had mated her as I want to start showing again ,so I thought a new start warrants a new baby. Everything was going ok and I gave her a cuddle Last Friday night at bed time and I could feel the babies there and thought these are either big or there is quite alot of them. She was full of energy and gave me a great big kiss before she jumped into her box. She lived in a large part of a shed with heating on.
On the Saturday morning I started to let the dogs out and started cleaning the first kennel which belongs to one of my Alsatians. The other two are in the same block away from the Whippets. Lucy was the last kennel to look at and she boltered out across the garden and went down on the pasterns into the mud and fell to the floor. She was shaking violently so I rushed to her. I could see blood everywhere. I got her vet bed and rolled her into it to ease any stress when I lifted her. I rushed her to the nearest vet and had to shout at them to get any service. I was just told to sit down and I was looking after her in the car when I saw other people going in to see the vet before me. I had to shout at them that my girl was dying and all they where doing was giving jabs. They put her on a drip but didn't give her any blood she was aborting. In all the haste I forgot to phone my daughter who job is head nurse and Yorkshire area Manager for Vets now. Only 2 weeks ago she had sent them mail saying they had blood and blood products for there use if needed but the vet forgot this important fact. She lasted until about 3pm without an op to get the dead puppies out. She had had enough and passed away at 3-30pm without having a operation. They even charged me for an overnight stay which I refused to pay. My daughter has given them hell and found out many things they should have done they forgot to do. and we put our faith in these people. Vets now is very expensive but your pet gets gold standard service. Please folks ask your vet if they carry or have access to blood the next time you see them. I believe my girl could have been saved if she had receive blood.
She is gone now but will be loved forever.
