The medication is actually very inexpensive and available over the counter. The exam at my clinic is $50, the coagulation profile blood work is about $100.
Hello,
I am sorry to hear about your dog. If your dog did get into rat poison it certainly an be fatal. The longer you wait to get help the worse your dogs prognosis is. It is helpful to know what kind of poison he ate. With this information we recommend that you call the pet poison helping and the product manufacturer to get help for your dog. In most cases we pre-emptiness stray dogs on vitamin K supplements to slow or stop the clotting problems that rat poisons kill by. I cannot over emphasize how important it is to get help. I also cannot over empathize how quickly you need to act. Rat poison is a cruel, painful, and awful way to die. No one should ever buy or use this product. There are better, safer ways to manage rats. I suggest a cat, or two.
I would guess a histocytoma. But the only way to diagnose is with the vets help
An acute swelling after a trauma is often blood or fluid. It needs to be examined and perhaps even aspirated. Often othe modalities like an X-ray or ultrasound are also helpful.
I have seen people make a cone by cutting a hole in the bottom of a bucket to put their pets head through. Or you can put a big sock over the leg. Or Elizabethan collars are available at most pet stores
Hello.
I’m sorry to hear about your puppy. Everyone heals at their own time. There’s lots of helpful information on this in my blog. I’ll add it below. Very best of luck. I’m rooting for you both.
These cases take a great deal of time, patience and dedication. I would strongly recommend you work wih a trainer daily and ask for assistance from your vet. At my clinic we help these cases by placing them in daycare for a few weeks. The parents drop them off for the day while they are at work and we work on socialization playing and training. It gets them used to being ok without their parents. From there we start crate training. Often we use medications to help in the beginning. There is help. Ask your vet and find a trainer.
A puppy who isn’t eating is sick until the vet says otherwise !! Go to the vet immediately.
All things relating to preganancy and puppies need to be directed to a vet for the most favorable prognosis.
