| I would like to know why my Yorkie died suddenly... Hi There, Would it be appropriate to discuss with all of you the details of how my sweet Yorkie died on Boxing Day? I would like to see if our collective experience and knowledge can help me determine what happened to him... Thank you... |

| Hi Love, I am a Canadian living in Belize. Tiki died so suddenly we did not even get a chance to take him to the Vet. Is it appropriate for me to discuss it here. I have a call in to the Vet, but they have not gotten back to me yet... |

| OMGosh! I'm so sorry... How old was your pup? Is your vet going to do a necropsy?

| I'm so sorry. My heart goes out to you. Did you take your puppy to the vet so they can determine the cause? Yes. It's ok to discuss what happened here.

| Hi kjc, Thank you, this is so unbelievably painful. Tiki was born on April 27, 2001, so he was almost 11 years old... I am so hesitant to talk about it here, because I don't know anyone here, but I need some answers and I have not found them online as of yet. So I thought I would come here to discuss... |

| I am so sorry for your loss. Is there a vet you could take him to now to have look at him? What symptoms did he have? What happened?

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Take him in for a necropsy. That is the best way to find answers. At most we would only have educated guesses.

Not a problem... did he have any health problems you were aware of? Was he on any medications? Was he acting normally even a few days before this happened, or was he acting strange in any way?

| He was his wonderful perky playful self on the day before Christmas. He was eating, drinking, playing and being his usual self... At 11:00 pm Christmas Eve he starting throwing up. That was not unusual. Over the course of his life he would get into something, or something would disagree with his tummy and he would be sick for a day or two... Christmas Day he continued to throw up all day. He would not eat, but continued to drink throughout the day... He was so cute, he kept going downstairs to the yard, to lie in the sunshine, face the breeze and stare out at the Caribbean Sea... I would leave him for a bit, but felt he was a bit vulnerable as he was not feeling well, so I would go an scoop him up and snuggle and kiss him and bring him back up to the deck or in the house... I left the gate open, so that he could go down whenever he wanted to, as he is so smart, he would try to throw up down there... But I would worry about him, and eventually shut the gate, and let him get sick up here where I could keep an eye on him. I need to breath for a moment... I will be back in second... |

| I am so sorry for your loss..I hope this does not sound rude(not meant to be) but unless you take him for a necropsy you will never know for sure what happened
