Thanks for reaching out — I completely understand why you're worried about your goldendoodle puppy. When vets provide a concerning prognosis, it's often because they want to prepare you for the most serious possibilities while working towards a hopeful outcome.
A grim prognosis can arise from various issues, such as genetic disorders, severe infections, or congenital problems. Goldendoodles, like other breeds, can sometimes be predisposed to specific health conditions. If a vet mentioned something specific, it might be helpful to get more details, so you fully understand what you're dealing with.
In the meantime, closely monitor your puppy for any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. Ensure they're comfortable and have a quiet space to rest. Ensure they're hydrated, especially if they're reluctant to eat.
Watch for alarming signs like difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting or diarrhea, sudden weakness, or severe pain, as these require immediate attention.
A prognosis isn't set in stone, and getting a second opinion or more information can be incredibly useful. I encourage you to book a video consult with Dial A Vet for further discussion and guidance tailored to your puppy's specific situation. This allows us to explore all options together and support you through this challenging time.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
