This reminds me of when my 5 week old puppy ate a rock and the vet said she could not see his intestines where they should be in the X-ray and that the rock was not actually "in" his intestine, and there were too many " foreign speckles" in his body; In conclusion, the rock had ruptured open his intestines and all his bodily fluids were excreting into every open cavity in his body. He was essentially a walking dead puppy, even though he was up and about and very vibrant with life, and had no temperature (his body must've been in shock and due to his age- his immune system didn't react to any of this- therefore no fever, obviously, right?) a walking miracle, no doubt. Because he was such a conundrum she insisted an overnight stay on fluids to see if she could get a better X-ray picture (which i had to pay for), OR we put him down on the spot right there. AND if the overnight stay with fluids proved her right, he would be put down anyways, on top of the charges for the stay. I took the gamble, I wasn't ready to put him down on a whim, essentially taking the gamble on a thousand dollar bill in the end. Turns out he was absolutely fine. the fluids pushed the rock out, and the foreign speckles were just common puppy-fatty fluids in his muscles, and the intestines weren't visible in the X-ray because they were so small (before being pumped full of liquid), apparently she never X-ray'd a puppy before.

TLDR it was lupus and vets are hellbent on sentencing your loving companions to death
