rakaaz Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 So very sorry to hear of your loss, way too soon. May she be running pain free now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjm Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Thank you all for the thoughts. We don't have the PM results back yet so I can't stop thinking about the "what if's" and why we didn't insist on more investigations sooner. Or taking her to Perth, or anything really. It just feels like we sat back and watched her suffer. She was far too young and didn't deserve any of this :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjm Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Well I have the PM results if anyone is interested, and it is certainly not what we expected at all. I have asked the vet to write a report (I am sure I have missed details) and I will call Pru's breeder very soon to let her know what has happened. Basically, the neurological problems and her breathing difficulties were completely unrelated. She had a congenital brain defect where he found one blood vessel in her brain was 5mm thick when it should have been 1/2mm thick - amongst other things, which caused some ssubstancial bleeding thus the neurological issues. This did not kill her. This week she suffered a lung torsion. It didn't show on the xray, although there were bronchial markings they could have been caused by her rapid breathing? So in theory yes this could have been operated on, however the vet said it usually only diagnosed on PM unfortunately as in our case. Also we were trying to link the two issues when now it is obvious they were unrelated, it made diagnosis even more complicated. There was no sign of meningitis or any other brain infection. Thank you guys for the support, I am just in shock at the moment and trying to understand all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hi cjm, I am so sorry about Pru. It doesn't sound as if anything would have helped, but all that could have been done was done. Sometimes things just go wrong - no one is to blame - it just happens. And it's more difficult when it is something unusual. best wishes to you and your family.

cjm Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Thank you, I finally got onto her breeder and lets just say I didn't expect that response but it's over at least and I thought she should know about the brain problem. I wasn't asking for anything and now I feel worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
