Hi ******, we are so sorry that Toy Toy was euthanized. Toy Toy had been recently treated for a uterus infection with your regular veterinarian, and she was scheduled for a spay when it was discovered that she was newly diabetic and having a complication called diabetic ketoacidosis. Bloodwork additionally, showed a high white blood cell count and elevated liver values. Chest x-rays showed a diffuse chronic airway pattern and was she was referred to **** for further treatment. When Toy Toy was initially referred to **** the doctor discussed that treating Toy Toy would require several days of hospitalization and critical care. The ultimate goal was to have Toy Toy return to a simple diabetic so that you could manage her at home. Based on her bloodwork, ultrasound, and examinations, we had no reason to believe that she would not do well. We also advised that Toy Toy would likely remain diabetic and require daily insulin and follow up with her veterinarian. Toy Toy was very sick when she was admitted. Her treatment included fluid and insulin therapy. Once she was eating fairly well, she was started on long-acting insulin. Based on her progress, it seemed reasonable to give her some time at home to see how she would do. You were provided very detailed instructions on how to care for her.We understand that you were very apprehensive about caring for Toy Toy at home.We recommended urine testing, and follow-up with your regular vet. It is unclear whether you were able to successfully give Toy Toy her treatments at home, and whether that *** have contributed to her decline. Toy Toys illness was one that we manage all the time. Most patients are able to be transitioned to at-home care and managed successfully long-term with their diabetes. Toy Toy *** have had a more difficult condition to treat, but there was no indication during her stay that she was going to do poorly. Had we thought her prognosis was poor, we would have shared that information with you so that you could make the right decision for you. The doctors were honest about the costs, and what would be entailed in care, and thought they were doing right by you and Toy Toy. It saddens us that we did not earn your trust in your most recent hospital experience. We do hope you know how much we cared about Toy Toy and her wellbeing
