I was wondering if you noticed if Bodhi had any internal bleeding at the time? Perhaps blood in his eyes. What happened with my grey (Jack) was he pulled a muscle while chasing a ball & within several hours his leg was getting purple due to internal bleeding. He also developed a limp. We had a blood test done & his white blood cell count was very low. So he was given Prednisone (steroid). Before the pred' could kick in I noticed blood starting to appear in one eye, obviously nerve wracking. By the next morning the blood stopping increasing in his eye & the good news was we had caught the problem! Perhaps Bodhi had the same issue? Jack is fine today [off the Predz'], but the crazy thing is this whole incident almost happened again. No, No, not because of chasing a ball, but from slipping on the stairs or in the house. I'm not exactly sure from what, but I noticed him limping & decide to watch his leg for internal bleeding. Sure enough it began. Since I had some Prednisone I started him on it ASAP & called the vet for a refill & visit. Everything worked out again but now I carry him everywhere!!! Just kidding he won't let me :) Hopefully this info will help you or someone out there in the future. Take Care, Gordie Also my regrets for your loss.
