Dog poisoned, day 4, pulmonary edema and shock, woke then shocked again, body limp; any hope?
From your description, the dog's current state has little chance of recovery; further treatment depends on the reported vital signs and the vet's advice. Early shock without disease can be saved with active care, but severe disease is hard to recover from; mild low blood sugar or allergy usually recovers.
Why is my dog suddenly coughing and retching? It didn’t poop at night; the hospital X-ray says stomach and gut problems, and the image is unclear
Confirmed coughing usually points to respiratory disease; violent coughing can cause stomach spasm and reflux vomiting, and hard food may injure the esophagus or stomach. The blurry film shows high-density matter in the stomach, possibly undigested bone or food; recall if you fed hard bones causing injury and indigestion, leading to cough and retch. Follow the vet's plan.
