Miasmom
07-29-2009, 03:19 PM
Gender- Spayed Female
Age- 2 years 3 months
Color- Piebald
Medical Issues- Very very sensitive digestive system - slightest change in her routine would lead to crazy diarrhea. Constant soft stools regardless of foods. We had to add enzymes to each meal. Mia had Terrible seperation anxiety. She hated to be away from us - even if we were in the next room. She screamed and howled and panted constantly if we were not with her during the day and at night.Mia was very very stressed without us.
Temperament- Very sweet, very loving, always wanted to be right next to you
Food- Solid Gold Wolfking
Human Food- Occasional yogurt or cottage cheese when her tummy was very upset
Diet Change- No
Not pexied
Fed three times a day
Elevated food bowl
Water at all times
Exercise after eating was usually minimal.
Unknown if she had bloating in her family - found out the hard way the breeder she came from was not good.
Sequence- Mia was actually boarded at our vet for a few days when she bloated. The vet had gone in on Saturday night (March 21, 2009) to play with her around 8:00 pm. The vet tech came in the next morning at 7 am and found her dead. They called us and we made them leave her alone until we got there. She was in the back corner of the kennel, her sweet paws crossed , her body extended out, chest and stomach swollen. There was a thin film of water/food dried on the floor where she had vomited. They told us she had actually vomited earlier in the day as well. Hindsight - makes you want to scream at people.
Looking back she burped alot, and she often made gagging noises with a little foam that would come out after she would eat.
Outcome - Mia died and I beat myself up daily over it. I often wonder if this would have happened had we not left her there. We knew she was a very stressed dog and did not leave her often because of that. But then I know if she would have died in our house instead we would have had to sell it immediately! I can't even walk into the vet office now without breaking down in tears. Our new puppy will have the pexy done. My heart breaks for my Mia. I hope everyone's stories will help!anglefly
