I took my Yorkie to the vet to have his hair cut. At some point, he went into respiratory failure and went unconscious. They did CPR on him for 10-15 minutes, but could not revive him. They said that some times yorkies have heart and liver problems, so they did an autopsy on him and said his heart didn't look all the way developed, so they sent it off for more testing. Any ideas what could have caused it?

If it is not genetic, what should I do? How should I handle the vet?
