Yorkie Died This Morning Early this morning my Yorkie stopped breathing. Last night it appeared he had a bit of stomach distress and was gagging (maybe coughing???) we assumed he had just eaten something that disagreed with him or ate too fast as he has done before.
We we got up this morning he appeared to still be gagging but appeared fairly alert, we took him to the kitchen and was planning taking him to the vet when he layed on his side and his tongue kinda dropped out his mouth and had a blue tent.
I tried mouth to nose while my husband attempted to call the vet since it was out of office hours. However his his heart just stopped beating.
Any clues on what could have caused this? He was a house papertrained dog who was never around any other dogs except for our maltese. They are papertrained and both rarely went outside.
Any thoughts are appreciated. |
