I am so sorry to hear of the death of that beautiful little creature...I do not intend to sound cold-hearted cause I am crying as I type this but I want to point out the learning experience from this. Yes, bloat is deadly and has killed many dogs-especially large ones.
BUT, one of the reasons we feed puppy food to these young Yorkie puppies is because their G-I tract can handle the ingredients and digest them. Adult food has a lot more fiber much of the time, and it just stays in the intestines and forms a hard mass. That acts like a total bowel obstruction which is what causes shock and can eventually cause death. I have never heard of a little one eating that much so wonder if she had another underlying problem that didn't turn her "full tummy sensor" on...
Have you contacted her breeder? Is it at all possible that she was hungry all the time as a young baby and developed the habit of gobbling her food? That happens when a lot of dogs are housed together.
I am sorry that you are going thru this but, please know we are here for you and BF....Go in LOVE and rest in Peace, sweet Coco-Bee... |
