Hi my dog a German Shepard aged 2 years died two days back. He was healthy and fit dog without any illness. He was fine and was eating well. In the afternoon he was playing with my kids while laying upside down so tht kids wud cuddle him. Suddenly his all four paws folded inside and he started breathing heavily and his eye suddenly changed into big black eye balls. And he cried loud with pain and moved in circle with which his excrete and urine passed out and his mouth was filled with foam. We were terrified to see him. We tried to come near him bt he wud not allow anyone to come near him. Then he crawled himself to the balcony of the house which was at short distance and later down there and in seconds he ws behaving such as someone is giving him electric shocks. I immediately called the vet and when he arrived he was also clueless abut dog's condition. Bt it was not rebies for sure. And within half an hour he died. I'm still in search of the answer tht wht exactly happened to him. So plz if anyone knew do tell. Thank u

I lost my dog .... The story ... She was fine all day jumping in around all happy normal self .. And then 8 oclock in the night she started being sick and having th runs I knew it was something else ... I phoned the Pdsa and they said its just sickness and the runs so theres no point bringing her down just leave it till the morning and she should be fine thats what they told me ... 2 hours go by and she stood up and a lot of blood come from her bottom .. I knew then I had to rush her to the closes vets as it wasnt what the Pdsa had said it was worse ... I got her there and she wasnt moveing her eyes she was breathing very weak they took her off me straight away .... ... 10 mins go by and they tell me she had started to throw up blood .. They needed to run some blood test and other test to see what was going on in the mean time stick her on a drip and give her pain killers ... They did that and they said it will take 2 hours for the test results of her blood I waited out side then in the car .. 2 hours went by I went in and they told me her white blood cells where 1.1 and she has a lot of acid in her blood due to losing so much of it ... The nurse runs out telling the vet that something has gone wrong and then they run down 2 mins later they come Up and tell me she has taken a turn for the worse ... I run down there to see her see what was going on ... It was horrible the amount of blood coming from her mouth and she wasnt moveing or anything .. I knew she was going ... So the vet asked me to out her down and I couldnt see my dog suffer like that so I said do it ... I was holding her paw telling her I love her as they done it ... My life has never been the same and till this day I dont know what coursed it .. The next day I paid off the bill and then paid to get her cremated ... She turned bad so fast in such a short time I just cant believe it and she was such a lovely dog my baby girl she didnt deserve to go that way ... ... Thats my story so I ask people who have dogs or cats if they throw up and have the runs take them down the vets as soon as you can because its not always the case that it is just the runs and sickness ..
My best friend and loyal companion of 10 years died suddenly this morning. He was a beautiful labradoodle of standard size, weighing about 60 pounds. I am looking for answers. We had just moved from Ohio to Arizona and we're staying with my son's family. He had a complete check up before we left Ohio and had no problems. We had a great trip and spent more time together in these past three weeks than ever before. He was loving living in the desert and exploring the walled yard area. My grandsons loved him. Yesterday he ate well and seemed like he was really adjusting well. He no longer was having eye drainage problems in this climate. He went out to do pee around 11 pm. He went to sleep in his bed next to my bed as normal. At around 3 or 4 am, I woke to use the bathroom and he was sleeping on the bathroom floor which may have been cooler for him. He got up when I called his name and went into the living room. Then at 5;45 am when I woke up, I could hear heavy breathing. He was lying on the floor, breathing heavy and lethargic. He could not get up. He looked so sad and tired and worried. My son and I took him to the emergency vet hospital. Within 5 minutes of arriving he went into cardiac arrest. They performed CPR , gave him oxygen and medicines. He was not responding. I wondered if he had been bitten by a venomous animal but he had no signs of a bite anywhere. The Doctor did an ultrasound and said that there was an enlarged heart and fluid. She was going to try to remove the fluid but would have to stop compressions. She came back 10 minutes later and said that it could be an enlarged heart which was hard to tell the difference between fluid and an enlarged heart with an ultrasound. She advised me that he probably had heart disease that had progressed and that dogs don't often show symptoms and never complain. I had to decide to stop the resuscitation as his heart would not start beating on its own. I am devastated by this. It is so sad and I keep wondering if there were signs that I had missed. But he was his normal self. He played an ran around with my son's dog in the morning yesterday and layed around or followed me around like he always does. I am at a loss and wish he was still here. I can't believe he is gone. I want to look into his eyes and hug him again. We had a great three weeks together. This forum is helpful to know that I am not alone in dealing with my darling Harley's sudden death.
Know this is an older post but I am joining all of you as I was looking for answers . My 9 year old Sheltie died Thursday night . He was perfectly fine we had been taking walks every night he was happy chasing squirrels and meeting other dogs in the park. I got home from work he was perfectly normal barked and told me about his day I asked why he didnt vacuum.he ate his dinner pooed and peed normal . I kissed him and told him I would be back in 2 hours as. I was meeting a friend for dinner it was still light when I got home so I got a poopy bag and was getting ready to take him for a walk and he wasnt coming to me like he normally would I went down the stairs and he was gone it totally freaked me out he was my baby reading all these posts shows me I am not a lone it helped to read I am so sad
This has happened to me my dog was only 6 years old, when we were about to go to school my second dog was barking but the 6 year old dog didn't but they both get up and bark but one only got up and bark and was very excited, I asked my mom for money to have a snack after school so she gave me it the day before the death the dog was healthy and like a normal dog and the day he died it was out of nowhere that was only when I was 10 and this still hits me up we need to know why this happen.
From your description of what happened, it does sound like it could have been either a cardiac or cerebral event, but the only way to tell for sure what it was would be to have your vet perform a necropsy (autopsy). Many people don't want to put their pet through this, after all it won't bring them back and it does cost money to have done. If you feel it would give you closure, however, contact your vet and arrange to have it done.
Again, my most sincere sympathies to you on your loss.
