So very sorry for your loss! Such a tradegy. Perhaps you can question your vet a little more about this "injury". Namely given the area of the brain that haemorraghed, was the skull at that point (presumably the point of impact), weakened in any way? In your opinion, how hard a "knock" to the head would have been necessary to cause this death?
And yes I have heard of this happening, most especially to young pups, but being dropped from a height. You didn't mention the age of the dog that died.
Even in humans are skulls do have stronger versus weaker places. Some bones are thicker than others.
I'm not sure if your friend actually linked the I stepped on his toes, to the running away from him and hitting his head. I do know that you are from Sweden, and perhaps English is not your first language, so maybe something is lost in translation?
Logically, it doesn't seem to fit together. I just on Sunday stepped on my Yorkies toes! He yelped (a lot), picked up his paw, and he certainly was not running anywhere. I of course picked him up, and examined carefully all of his toe digits, and ankles. Thankfully he was fine!
My condolences once again for your loss.
