12.5 year old German Shepherd/Mix

[shadowsmommy]

My 12.5 year old German Shepherd/mix, laying in a recliner, suddenly started yelping two nights ago and then went to the floor hard.  I went to him and he just looked at me, my first thought was that he had a nightmare, that's happened.  After a bit he got up and walked around like he was fine and laid on the mat by the door, I assumed he was ok and went to bed, he was fine before this and seemed to have come out of it after. My husband found him dead in the morning.  He had lost control of his bowels in quite a few spots and vomited.  We are devastated and can't imagine what happened. Was this a heart attack???

i know how you feel when we lost our little baby boy, but my house was very lonly and i needed another one, now shes our heart and brings us lots of joy and love but when i think about lossing her it breaks my heart,

so sorry you had to go threw that and of course you would of been there for him, but he showed no signs of being in destress after it happen so ya didnt know.  since he was 12.5 years old it could of been anything at that age. but glad he didnt suffer with it.
my fur baby had cancer and his last day he lost control of his bowels to, we had no ideal he had it .  

try and remember the good times with him and not the what if i did this, ya were great parents to him, sounds like he had a great life , have no regrets and maybe one day ya can give another fur baby that needs a loving home a place to live

Thank you, We didn't talk to the vet, but I may give them a call. We just can't help but feel we should have been there for him, had I known, I would have stayed up with him.  I don't think we'll get another pet, this is too heartbreaking :(
