My dog suddenly died today she was only two years old, I let her out for a wee and she goes in her cage. I went back in to the kitchen and she was dead in her bed. No warnings or nothing, I'm absolutely heartbroken 💔 she was a chi x jack Russell

Oh my god! 💗 Really Feel for you! We went through this in January! She was only 2.5 years old. Wasn’t as sudden but she was fine one week and then gone the next. I hope you’re ok. Do you know the rainbow bridge poem. It’s so cute. Can almost read without crying now. 🌸🌻

So sorry Flowers

I was and remain heartbroken at the loss of my dog at 7 nearly four years ago now. I console myself with the fact he knew nothing but love and kindness his entire life and never heard a cross word and lived like a king. I'm so sorry for your loss but take comfort in the fact they knew love and kindness their entire life. Xx

Whaeanui · 06/04/2023 20:46

So sorry for your loss, I lost an animal recently so I sympathise. I hope someone is with you

@betterlucknexttimefingerscrossed I could have wrote that myself, mine was also only 7.

Unfortunately, from my experience, the vets can't just run 'tests' to see what happened to her. My dog was alive and fine one evening, was being sick through night and told it's just a bug going about, took him in to the vets first thing and he was dead by dinner time. They said it was parvo but I didn't think it was, had to argue with the vet who said testing him for it would be too costly and it won't bring him back... It was only £120 and worth every penny to know it wasn't parvo. They'd even wrote PARVO in massive letters on the board beside his name. I think they just wrote him off blaming it on that as it took them so long to try to get an IV into him. If they'd done it as soon as he got there things may have been different. After he'd died, I asked for tests to be ran on him, the vet said he can test for the parvo but what other tests would I want? They could do five and all could come back negative and that's at £120 per test... He's the vet, how would I even know where to begin on what his symptoms were, to what we could test for?

I still grieve that dog, I always will. Took me two years to even begin to accept it. Not knowing what it was was half the suffering. My heart breaks for anyone who loses a companion unexpectedly. Knowing you gave them a good life is the only comfort.

Sorry this was so long.

I really am sorry for your loss and everyone else that has commented. I wonder if some of these unexplained deaths could be heart defect like adults have where no one knows anything is wrong until it's too late. Heartbreaking and such a horrible shock. Take care of yourself and treasure your memories FlowersFlowersFlowers

She’s a little sweetie. I’m sorry for your loss, what a shock.

Puravida23 · 09/04/2023 13:39

Gorgeous face . She looks a real cutie I am so sorry
. Look after yourself and take it easy . I went through the same last year but my girl was a lot older almost 10. The shock was immense and I kept playing over if I could have done things differently but I know deep down I couldn’t it would have always played out like it did and neither could you it’s just one of those tragic things that happen

Flowerly · 09/04/2023 15:56

So very sorry OP, you must be devastated. Daisy is a little beauty.

moderationincludingmoderation · 09/04/2023 16:00
