That's really interesting, we have a few family friends who have had their dogs pass in similar timeframes (within about a day of showing symptoms) so this is a real eye-opener.

Thank you for this information, I haven't heard of the plant before so I shall definitely have a look in the light to see if it's in the garden or anywhere where we may have taken her

From what I remember she didn't have any tumours that they found, they did an xray and possibly an ultrasound but the xray came back inconclusive

Yes we're still in the same house unfortunately as we rent and it's quite hard to move, however for our puppy we currently don't let her use the back yard which we previously used, only the front yard

Thank you so much for your reply I never thought about a toxin in the yard, she did like running around the yard and found a few balls so that could definitely have been a cause.

I stumbled across this forum today researching wormers and flea treatments for our new 4-month-old Springer pup, and was wondering if anyone could provide any answers regarding the recent passing of our three-year-old Golden. She had various blood clots in her body and her platelets had separated from her blood and filled in her stomach causing what we initially thought was bloat. We ran her straight to the emergency vet but a day later she sadly died. The strange symptoms sort of began about a month prior, after we moved into a new house and decided to change her food as the original food she was on (Pedigree Dry Food) was a suspect to her putting on a lot of weight. We put her on Applaws and then she started to have diarroeha, so thus we thought the change in food might have upset her stomach and we waited to see if it cleared up. It did, however she was constantly hungry so we slowly reintroduced Pedigree again as she seemed to prefer it, and then the bloating and vomiting happened and we took her to the vet. Unfortunately, the vet didn't have any real explanation as to what happened and what may have caused it, however due to its sudden onset we wondered if it was more than a blood condition as she sort of theorised. Any help regarding what may have happened would be wonderful and may provide a bit of closure for our family.
