      I'm so sorry that happened to you. I hope I'm not out of line but why didn't they put the dog down from the get-go if he was that sick. Why would anyone put an animal through that. Sending you hugs and I really hope you fought this.Came from ************************* Replied:That is why I am grieving so.They charged for a criticalist vet to advice us.If you read their reviews, it was all about the money.They said do you want to have resuscitation performed.I said no.They said do you want an MRI on his brain to see if their is a lesion or tumor . I said No!. 600 dollars for cpr **** for MRI. I said. No! Did they say anything about EKG which he was breathing profusely! No! Not until they gave him sedatives he srarted to relax but his eyes were still dilated. It was all about the blood money. Read the negative reviews.We should have been advised to do the right thing by euthanizing him the first day. They kept on saying he is doing fine. We will keep over night and see if any more seizureswhich they told me next day t said none. He is doing fine. Until I said I wanted to bring him home, everything changed after I called at 9:01pm on third day they said he was doing fine and sedation has been decreased! I got a call at 9:46pm same day that he was dead! On that Sunday when went to visit, we saw no change but a shallow breath and very cold paws and ears and stomach when we're running him! He had a gurgling sound that the vet said it was due to his not being sit up right perched so fluid can down his throat! No it was a death rattle called Agonal breathing is when someone who is not getting enough oxygen is gasping for air. It is usually due to cardiac arrest or stroke. It's not true breathing. It's a natural reflex that happens when your brain is not getting the oxygen it needs to survive. Agonal breathing is a sign that a person is near death. Said Respiratory problems caused his death on the Death Summary! Really!
