These bones are very small and delicate so you would not be able to see or feel something sticking out of a neck. Let me remind you that I had Teagan as a temporary foster pup~he is the little 2 months old puppy that was stepped on by a Mastiff. Teagan was not able to walk because he had a compression to the T3 & T4 vertebrate in his spine and also a severed ligament at the T1 and T2 vertebrates. The severed ligament was not visible on Xray and was only found once he had his surgery. So your theory that you would have been able to see or feel damage does not hold. All of that aside, Stormy is gone and there is nothing you can accomplish by agonizing over cause of death. Whether it was poor breeding and a seizure or that that he died from something that your puppy might have done needs to be put behind you now. I agree that you need to mourn the her passing but you also need to take all of this as a lesson and grow with it. It's important is that you keep your new little pup save, you have learned your lessons regarding puppy mills and poor breeding and you will continue to promote what you have learned from this very sad story and the life of Stormy.  |
I know we will never really know what happen, and I am okay with that, I can think of all the ideas I want but I was never there to wittness what happen and I never will be able to know 100% for sure, but I do believe that this was NOT an agressive killing. She has never been agressive with a dog especially not with Stormy. She did want to play with her but never attack her. Alot of dogs, bigger dogs that met Stormy had a "sense" of something not right with her and were always very gentle around here.
