I am sorry for the loss of your dog. Anything is possible, but it is not likely the Metrobactin was solely responsible. The presence of fluid in the abdomen may have indicated severe liver disease which may have proved terminal. The slow recovery from anesthesia may have been due in part to the liver not functioning properly enough to clear anesthetic agents from the body.
