I came home from work last week and found my dog near death. There was bloody diarrhea all over the house. The dog was barely breathing. I yelled to my husband to google the nearest emergency veterinary hospital. By the time we arrived here I had done CPR on him. He barely had a pulse and no blood pressure. The staff and doctors immediately took him, triaged him and ultimately saved his life. I will forever be grateful.
It is impossible to make rational decisions in this situation, and I had to trust that they were doing everything necessary. Nothing more and nothing less. He made it through the night. I visited him in the morning and he was alert and eating a little. I agreed he should spend the day for observation and some more bloodwork.
After he was stabilized and it was clear he was going to be OK, I did get the sense that they were starting to offer more services, like suggesting he stay an extra night, do more bloodwork, etc. Again, its hard to question motive when its life and death. These people worked a miracle for my dog and I hope their motives are always clear and honest
