I was a big beautiful 6 year old Doberman Pincer, I was gentle as a lamb and never got upset with anything or anyone. Everybody loved me and I loved them back. On 04/07/10 Wednesday night I started coughing, the next day my owner took me to the Somis veterinary hospital. It was dirty and there was animal hair on the floor, the vet put a stethescope on my chest and said I did not have a heart murmer, diagnosed me with bronchitis, gave me a antibiotic shot and gave my owner antibiotic pills for me.
On Saturday morning my cough was worse and I couldnt get my breath, I was gasping for air, I couldnt lay down, I had to stand up to breathe. My owners took me back to the Somis veterinary hospital, the vet checked me again and gave me another antibiotic shot, more pills, and told my owner I was congested, at this time my owner did not know, but my lungs were filling with my own blood, I was starting to go into cardiac arrest. By Saturday evening I was in very bad shape, I was shaking and started coughing up blood, my owners immediately took me to the Thousand Oaks pet emergency hospital. As soon as the vet put a stethescope on my chest she told my owners I was in cardiac arrest and was gravely ill, she called all of the other people there to help get me on a table, they all started working on me feverishly, they gave me shots, pills, shaved my legs and chest, put a oxygen mask on my mouth and put wires on me, then gave me a X-ray, I was very scared but did everything they wanted me to do. I kept looking back at my owners, I hadnt seen their faces looking like that before, the vet was talking to them and shaking her head, what was happening to me, why cant we go home? About a hour later my owners came into the room I was in, they looked scared and sad, they said goodbye to me, the vet gave me a shot again, things started to go dark, my owners kissed me one last time....................................This is what happened to our beautiful friend, and I will never forget the last look he gave me before he died.
The Thousand Oaks vet told us that It was obvious what was wrong with our dog and how did the Somis vet miss it.
I gave a one star rating only because the rating program wont let me give "no stars". Go somewhere else. Read Less
