https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/clinical-discussions/27101/severe-mastitisHas anyone ever seen this? We lost a lovely dog this morning with it, massively swollen, hot mammary glands, pyrexic (temp of 40 degrees) and having periods of being totally unresponsive to stimulus. We PTS her this morning as she started fitting :-(en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/155951?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 01 Oct 2014 19:45:14 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:81d799be-8faf-4003-b200-be6610a38d78elaine elder<p>I have also seen a severe mastitis turn into septic shock. The bruising on the dog was literally spreading infront of my eyes!! ? Seizure due to hypoglycaemia. Lots of great nursing care needed for septic cases. Tpr&#39;s and BP really important to monitor effectiveness of fluid therapy. If available monitor coags as septic shock can cause SIRS/ DIC and plasma transfusions may be needed. Even having all this available we still couldn&#39;t save poor dog!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/155923?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 01 Oct 2014 00:14:19 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:3e533791-15ac-443b-acaa-6f268c57fa64Nick Shackleton <p>Sounds like toxic/septic shock.
