 heart attack in yorkies
My 9 year old yorkie past away this past Monday night. He had just had a complete check up and was healthy. He was scheduled to have a dental cleaning on the Friday before he passed away. I cancelled the appt at the last minute because I just did not feel peace with him having the procedure. Monday night was a usual night at our house. My husband was playing with him and he spoke to the cat that had walked down the hall way. Jag quickly turned to look at the cat and fell to the ground. He didnt try to brace his fall. He lived 5 minutes. He didnt yelp or make a sound at all after he hit the floor. Ive been trying to research this on line. From all the research I've done, it seems heart attacks are not very common in dogs. My husband and our vet think he probably was almost dead before he hit the ground and that it was something more than likely with his heart or an anneurysm(sp). Has anyones yorkies had something similiar to this happen? Did they simply die suddenly or were there symptoms?I cant get him out of my mind and am wondering what went wrong.It's hard to deal with this kind of loss and not know exactly what happened doesnt help the situation. Any similiar stories you could share would help me greatly. |
