    My neighbors always complain about my dogs....and today one of my dogs suddenly vomited blood and passed away. How is is possible that the dog was completely fine and eating well then the next day vomited blood and dieing in just few hours later....I really doubt my neighbors but I can't do anything

    Poisoning is the most inhumane way to kill an animal,

    I took him to the Vet, and they couldn’t do anything for him. They seemed to think it was something Neurological going on, and not caused by the black widow spider in his dog house. They recommended that I take him to a Specialist. I called a Specialist, and their prices were out of this world. So then, it was recommended to put him down because, he wouldn’t have a quality of life like this. We gave it a few days, and we didn’t feel like he was in bad enough shape to be put down. He doesn’t walk like he’s drunk anymore- he still drools a lot, and seems to get eye boogers a lot. I clean around his eyes with a warm cloth. He seems to be doing better than he was, he’s just not 100%. Thank You for asking.
  • My dog died overnight with heavy bleeding vomiting, there was a blood on his excretory passage too. He just skipped his dinner and was otherwise healthy and energetic. No prior sign of diarrhea or lethargy.
  • hi dr. leigh nice to find your video on dog poisonoling, my dog did not eat since this morning and he pooped just once which is wet whenever i feed him rice and vomitted just once and until night time he don't want to eat. He can still run out side but most of the time quiet. what could he have eaten.? thank you and hope you read my comment, good night 🙂
  • I suddenly lost my dog two months ago. She was fine one day and gone the next. The thing that disturbs me is that she was drooling a yellowish foamy stuff. The vet my husband took her to seemed to think she had a heart attack but he didn’t see or know about the foaming. This is what leads me to believe the dog was poisoned. She never went out by herself so I don’t really believe that she picked it outside. That means she picked it up in the house. I’m wracking my brain but this was too sudden.
  • I know who poisoned my service dog, I cast a curse on them next time it happens they will not be so lucky.
  • My mother's German Shepherd just died yesterday and her own husband poisoned the dog they have two more and he always said that he wants to make "away" with the dogs because they eat to much, thus is so sad and she was a very good and smart girl her name was Lady. 😥

Do people think emergencies are only for humans? Seriously why isnt there a 911 version for ANIMALS YET!? WHAT'S THE CLOSEST THING? A freakin vet that MIGHT help you? Yeah no if it's an emergency i expect emergency treatment for my pet the same as i would get at an e.r hospital! Why arnt people opening more of these? Imma have to become a vet just cus other humans are too lazy

    My dog was fine all day and she vomited everything she ate ..she was normal after this but the next day she didn’t want to eat at all or get up ..she vomited two more times and just laid down all day..I thought it was a stomach bug and thought she would get over it but then the next day she threw up Blood it was Dark Dark Red and the vet was not open at 12am so I didn’t know what to do..the following morning I woke up to take her to the vet ..she was just laying there and sadly she passed away..do you think my dog was poisoned ?

  • @tracycameron1225
    My mates dog just passed 3 days ago now. Sever liver and kidney break down. He was healthy as, regular check up everything. Died within 48 hrs of symptoms. Vet says hereditary maybe,no I have Mum n Dad and their parents never have had these issues. Snake maybe,in Alice Springs and eastern brown everywhere. But would it not kill faster? 2 other dogs have been baited same street in last mth. It doesn't make sense at all. His liver and kidney went from good to see ya later within days. 48hrs, that is how long it took. Any ideas
  • My wee dog Plato drunk radiator fluid/ anti freeze in a puddle while we walked around the block. Myself nor my vet picked up on the symptoms in time. He had major kidney failure and we had to put him down. Im absolutely heart broken and disappointed in myself.
  • I lost my dog today, because she was doing her duty to protect the family😮‍💨
