Pet Care
Douglassville Veterinary Hospital
105 Griffith Dr, DouglassvilleI originally posted several months ago under my maiden name. Im giving more stars because my dog lucy was well taken care of with her dental health, I loved the vet I saw. They were honest and thorough and the vet was very kind and caring.
The trouble i had was with our senior dog. We brought her in on three separate occasions for blood pressure readings and each time she was reported at 220, on the nose. After the first reading, douglasville had us put Sammy on BP meds. After two weeks on the meds, my husband brought her in and didnt come back with any meaningful information. According to our vet records, her reading that visit was also 220. Sammy was visibly okay at the second reading. But she had been on the BP meds for two weeks and my husband had no idea that her readings had not changed at all.
The final reading was done when our Sam was really starting to decline, and after all those weeks of meds she still had 220 bp reading.
Sammy was hardly functioning after that. I decided to take her off of the BP meds without professional intervention, because she was barely able to walk at this point, and we were readying ourselves for goodbyes. I made the link between the BP meds and her health decline, and I wasnt sure it would solve anything. I just knew i had to try. At the very least, i wanted her to be comfortable.
After taking off the BP meds, we had a single check with our new vet and she read 161-170 (5 readings in one sitting which I was witness to and she was nervous the entire time and shaking in fear by the last reading.) for this reason I truly believe the BP meds were actually causing low blood pressure and we could have lost her. I think you may need some more accurate testing methods, because to have the exact same reading on three separate visits just doesn’t seem feasible, especially given that they were exponentially higher than what she read in the testing I witnessed at our new vet. Mind you, this was a week after we took her off of those BP meds.
Also I’m happy to report that her platelet counts are now normal, as well. I believe the antibiotics you put her own for potential tick borne illness was 100% the right call. I think you just may need some new methods of BP testing because your findings simply don’t equate with her health outcomes from the hypertension treatment and testing results from our new vet. It almost killed her.
