What Would Cause A Dog's Mouth And Gums And Paws And Ears To Turn White When They Were Pink. Then The Dog Died After She Was Given A Steroid Shot To Boost Red Blood Cells. Could The Steriod Cause Her To Die Or Was She Already Ill Being All Pale?

I am sorry to learn of your dog's death. I know you must miss having her around. It is especially difficult when lose a pet we have had for a long time. I have never seen a dog in the condition you described, however to me it seems very likely a dog with those symptoms was very ill.

You mentioned, the dog was given a steroid injection to boost red blood cells. This causes me to question why the dog's red blood cell rate was low. In a human this can be symptomatic of many different illnesses. Some very serious and life-threatening. I would guess this is true of animals, also.

I am surprised, your veterinarian did not tell you the cause of the dogs symptoms, or suggest further testing, if he/she did know the cause of her symptoms. I really believe your dog was probably very ill, due to some unknown illness, and this is probably the cause of her death. Whether the steroid injection caused her death is a question, only a medical person can answer for you.
