I have had two Aussies

My first one I had for several years and then he started to act sick and wouldn't eat, had diarrhea, and one day I came home from work and he was dead.  Not sure exactly what that was all about.  I kind of wonder if he had gotten into something.  I Aussie I have now has never had any problems.  I have had him for about 5-6 years now.  No problem with my vet either.  Maybe your friend should look into a different vet?

A friend has had several Aussies and has had problems at the vet's office.

One died after it was taken in for grooming and flea dipping. She said that the only dip that can be used is that as the same for sheep???

Her daughter's dog was in for routine teeth cleaning, but the anesthsia got to him and he died.

She took her current Aussie to the vet for neutering. When he came home he was lethargic. They took him back and the doctor put him on an IV to flush his system of any anesthesia?

Does any of this sound familiar? Thank you
