| - My heart is heavy as I write this but it is necessary: My dog Ruby who has never had any clinical signs or issues of any kind, bless her heart in the 10 years I've adopted her-awoke one morning refusing to eat food and vomited a few times. I can tell she was in pain by her trembling & panting. My family Vet was booked for the day & I needed to get Ruby seen ASAP. I took her to the new facility I remember just near my home. Dr. Cordray was her doctor that day and he was kind and compassionate. I explained the symptoms & he suggested X-ray and full blood work. We were able to get the results within 25mins and it came back that my Ruby had very high Liver Enzyme numbers. This concerned him very much and he explained that although the X-rays didn't show any tall tale signs, due to the blood work this was the game plan and he gave me 4 options of what to do next. He was specific, knowledgeable, and caring of my pet. What he suggested was spot on because when Ruby was taken to the ER Vet later that evening they did do an ultrasound still found nothing but over the next few hours fluid started to build in her belly. Ruby died in my arms while hospitalized but without the 'next steps' and knowledge of the 1st Vet {Dr. Cordray} Ruby would have most likely died alone or suffered a great deal. Through an autopsy Ruby had a tumor hidden behind/tucked between the Gal Bladder that abruptly rupture destroying her Liver and releasing fluid in her belly. I was given the gift of TIME, to say goodbye to my best friend while she passed away in my arms. She was medicated from the discomfort but she died naturally. I'm truly thankful for the entire process from 1st Vet to the 2nd Vet contacting me and letting me know my pet would not pull through come say your goodbyes. I was able to say everything I needed while knowing in the end she not only didn't die alone BUT the autopsy gave me closure/piece of mind knowing that nothing but a divine intervention could have saved her. It all happened so fast, one day she was playing with her toys and making us laugh to the very next day-completely lethargic, refusing food, vomited, body trembles, panting heavy, and discomfort without being able to sit/stand. If you KNOW your pet and clearly KNOW this is not her/his normal self--don't delay. Pay close attention to the signs and don't 2nd guess yours self or their needs. See a Vet that can get your pet the required help and the answers you need. I truly believe Dr. Cordray is a fantastic Vet! I thank him so much for his gift/talent of Veterinarian skills to be able to assist us when my pet was not herself and in need of medical attention. I LOVE & deeply MISS my Ruby. But, I am so grateful for the 10 years she indeed blessed me with.
