Storm 8/7/00 - 7/9/09

Apollo Von Dakota x Blanik Astra
Briefly, as this is all too painfull... we visited the vet yesterday morning, Storm's temperature was normal and she seemed in very little pain. Yesterday afternoon we toddled around the fields, Storm took her Kong, all seemed well. At 5-5.30pm she ate chicken and cottage cheese, she did not even notice the pills mixed into the food. At around 6.30 she started gagging and blew up massively in minutes. We immediately called the vets and where there before 7.15pm. He offered to put her back on the drip and give her more antibiotics intravenously but said that since the antibiotics they had already tried where not working they had no other alternatives and this would just keep happening. He could not guarantee more than a couple of days of improvement. Basically the bacteria in the pockets of gas in her intestine will have been turning toxic and poisoning her system. There was no more we could do. This was the third time in just over a couple of weeks that this had happened, we simply could not keep on putting her through it. Again the hardest decision had to be made...
