My dog died suddenly. Could it be poisoning or a ruptured tumor?

Question

My husky was fine in morning on wed and then in afternoon he was at vet with platelet count of 50 and white cells sky high with renal failure his urine had creatine in it and He was in shock. The vet gave him cortisone and drips and antibiotics and nothing helped he died next morning. Is this due to poisoning because he was fine then all this later in day. There was no vomiting or bleeding. His blood pressure was low. Was my dog poisoned? If so what kind poison could cause bleeding/vomit. Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male

I am so sorry to hear about Sky. I can only imagine what you are dealing with at this moment. Based on what you described, I would be suspicious of rat bait poisoning. Rat bait works quickly (effects can start within a few hours) and bleeding is the main consequence. The only other thing that would possibly look like this would be a ruptured abdominal tumor (cancer). This is generally a condition that effects older dogs. Its not uncommon that the pet will act completely normal until the tumor actually ruptures. Mortality is very high. Once again, I'm sorry for your loss. Please post again if you have any further questions.
