Deeds Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 One of my park friends has an Airedale with hip issues. He is 6 yrs old. If he runs around with the other dogs he gets sore and often cries in pain. Their vet has recommended Ibuprofen for the pain and it works very well. He seems to get over the pain and soreness quite quickly with the Ibuprofen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 Well I don't really know how to say this but Opal died this morning. It was instant. I did CRP for around 20/30 minutes while trying to get a vet. Had to ring a friend to ring one for me. Couldn't take the time to find a pen to write down a number. I've never had a dog die like this. I've always been able to help them. I'm in shock, I can't believe she fine one minute and dead the next. Vet has done an autopsy, will get the report tomorrow. Main possibility is some bleeding thing, her lungs were full of blood. Photos were taken of Opals heart and the vet's colleagues will discuss tomorrow, but Amy thinks more the bleeding thing. I'll post the correct name when I get the report. Opal was 5 3/4 years young. My only consultation is she had no idea what happened. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazm Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Oh my gosh. I’m so surprised to hear of Opals passing. How devastating for you Rebanne. Of course you’d be in shock. Such a young dog too. I do hope the vet report gives you some closure and can explain why it happened so suddenly. I truly feel for you. Take care. Sending hugs xx R.I.P Little Opal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 this is all the vet said. I will get my regular vet have a chat and see if she can find out more. I have discussed the case and reviewed the images with my colleagues this morning and we are in agreeance that the degree of haemorrhage in the lungs is likely more significant than from just CPR alone and most likely to be the cause of death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Kisses Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I’m so sorry, Rebanne. Please take gentle care of yourself, ok? When the shock wears off you might find yourself spinning. Vale, darling Opal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 In my anguish I missed the full report from the death. pulmonary thromboembolism is the diagnosis. Nothing I could have done. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemappelle Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I'm so sorry to hear that @Rebanne. Such a shock but as you said, it was so quick that she didn't suffer. Take care of yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
