what did jager have?

lynn123 · 10-25-2009, 06:09 PM

My Jager was a 5 yr old boxer.
One morning he ran\fell into the pantry door he fainted!
We thought for 2 days he had been in a fight, he was bleeding from the nose first and then the eyes he was unbalanced and on the third day he was losing concisness. His blood would not clot. The vet had no idea was the diease was only that he needed a transfustion and did not know his outcome he was sent home on fri.with meds to help bind redplatelets.(Vet said a vit. b shot helped him he perkd up and ate some)
fri; wont eat lathargic-
weakening in the legs
sat; bloody diareah,weak, cant/wont respond to commands, affection
at end of day can barely walk
sun; evenning at 8pm he went out to pee and convulsed and died
5 DAYS my dog was dead

I am so sorry for your loss. That must have been quite a shock to you. I wonder if he ate something that was poison. Those are strange symptoms. What a tragic thing to happen. (((hugs)))

OMG, I am so sorry to read this. What a truly awful thing to happen. I don't know but I would guess at something like a brain damage resulting from the blow to the door followed by a haemorrhage and multiple organ failure. I guess you could ask your vet to do an autopsy if you really want to know.

Again, my sympathies, it must be such a shock to you, and so hard to watch your pet go through this, RIP Jager.

I'm so sorry to hear this, and he was young too

....i hope you can find out what caused this to happen...i was thinking poison or something too. My heart goes out to you {{{hugs}}}

So sorry. It would be interesting to see what information an autopsy revealed.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have no idea but would suggest an autopsy and contact the breeder you got him from to inform them how he passed in case they can shed some light on it. Did he hit the pantry door and then faint or did he hit the pantry door as he fainted (I was a little confused there)?

OMG.... that is awful!!!! I am soooo sorry. I can't imagine what you were going through at this time.

Sorry for your loss .

Without a necropsy there will be no way to know exactly what happened to your boy .

Some poisons work by not allowing the blood to clot, thus causeing death . This sounds likely since he was bleeding and his blood was not clotting . This seems likely from the info you posted .

Many boxers also get brain tumors . this could cause the bleeding from the nose and the balance problem . many times cancer is there but a hit or hard blow send the cancer cells in fast mode , rapidly multiplying .

Oh, I'm SO sorry to hear this! It hurts so much to lose them. It really sounds to me like he might have gotten into something like rat poison from the bleeding issues, but you may never know.
Remember the good times you had with Jager, and know he loved you!
