  • Yes, this is basically how it was explained to me. The blood flow reintroduced to the liver basically flooded the poor guy with toxins.

    The only piece I was hung up on was that she edited the textbook quote sent to me and I wasnt sure how to ask about that.

  • Thanks, I appreciate the response. The only part I got hung up on was that the textbook explanation she sent me was edited and excluded the part about how it could have been potentially stopped by a free radical scavenger. I guess I wanted to be able to ask if that was considered or should have been, or maybe it wasn't because of some other reason.

  • Hey, thank you for the response. I appreciate your insight and. I definitely want to talk to the surgeon again, I guess I got hung up on the f at that the textbook quote she sent me was edited. She excluded the sentences about how it could potentially be stopped with free radical scavengers and then changed a sentence to say lethal where the textbook actually talked about the condition being blunted.

    Wasn't sure how to appropriately ask if those were things that were considered or should have been considered.

    Reperfusion Injury Questions

    Hello all - first and foremost thank you to anyone who is able to take time to respond. I'm looking for some guidance and trying to understand if tis is a common death in dogs or was there any way to potentially avoid it.

    I recently posted on r/petloss with more of the story of how I got this dog, but long story short I got him about a year ago from a shelter and he was already fixed and UTD on shots. We took him into our regular vet on March 9th for a checkup and the only thing she noted was that he was a little bit skinny (made sense at the time - he wasnt eating in the shelter). We took him for an appoint on October 10th and got a clean bill of health. On November 4th, Balto started showing some signs of distress after eating his breakfast. He had laid back down in his crate but then started crying and dragging his back legs. We rushed him to an emergency vet where he was ultimately diagnosed with a diaphragm hernia - the scheduled surgery for November 6th.

    I spoke with the

  • My dog used to resource guard pretty bad - we would always trade him. If he had a chew and it was time to given it up, offer him something different in exchange. Reward him when he grabs the new item you give him.

    If it's a food bowl, trade him a treat for the bowl. We used to use the "find it" game by throwing treats and he would run for those and then we could grab the item we wanted.

  • Thank you for the kind words. We are still in so much pain from his loss. We did not expect to lose him during this surgery, especially at just 2 years old. I have to tell myself that we did the right thing and gave him the best year of life that any dog could ever possibly ask for.

  • Not sure where else to post this. This is my boy Balto (the full husky), who unfortunately passed away during an emergency surgery on Monday to correct a diaphragm hernia. I'm going to miss him forever.
