Lost my precious Jag
 

I am heartbroken this morning. I lost my precious yorkie of 9 years last night. I wanted to briefly tell you guys what happened to see if you have any thoughts on what went wrong. It was a snowy day in Virginia yesterday and my husband and I were both off from work. We had a great day with Jag, walking in the snow and napping together. His energy level was fine as was his appetite. Last night about 8 15 pm he was on the arm of the couch and my husband was petting him. Our cat walked by and my husband called the cats name. Jag turned to look at the cat and then dropped off the arm of the chair. I was on the other end of the couch and didnt see this happen. My husband said he fell straight down only about 3 feet, without even trying to catch himself. He made the loudest thump to only be 3.8 pounds. I immediately ran over to him. My husband and I thought that he had broken his neck. He never made the first yelp when he hit. He never attempted to brace the fall with his legs or anything. We now are beginning to think that maybe he had a heart attack or brain anuerysm. He lived only about 5 minutes after I picked him up. He looked up at me with his soft brown eyes and moved his leg a few times and then with one final breath, he was gone. This is so traumatic as he was fine minutes before, I never saw this coming. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what happened? Our vet seems to think it was something catastrophic with his heart, in that if he had broken his neck and was paralyzed he still would have lived longer than 5 minutes. Im devastated and heartbroken. In a span of a few hours we went from having a great snow day to my best friend of 9 years being gone forever. Any thoughts on this from other yorkie owners would be comforting. I appreciate it!

I dont know what it could have been, but i just wanted to give you my thoughts and prayers. May your baby rest in peace. :(

I am so sorry for your sudden loss. You will be in my prayers. How wonderful that you had such a sweet day with Jag. I'm sure he knew he was your best friend

So sorry for the sudden loss of your sweet little one!

I cannot imagine the shock of this happening.

I am so sorry for you loss of little Jag.

It sounds like his last day was such a good one.

At least Jag was in your arms and not alone at the end.

This is heartbreaking.

Dear Jag's mom & dad, there will be no words that can take away the pain you must be feeling right now. My heart is so, so heavy with grief and sadness for you. I know how painful it is to loose a baby sooo suddenly, and without warning. I know that he was your son, and how much you love him. We lost our baby girl, Olive last Jan. 15 too, without warning. I know you have expressed your comfort towards me, and I thank you for that. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, and I pray that our hearts will heal soon together. His memories will live in your hearts forever. With much love. -Charisa

I am so sorry for your loss. Think about how great of a day you all had together and the happy times.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. It sounds like Jag had a heart attack. My friend's cat passed away about a year ago from a heart attack as well and it was really quick.

I'm so sorry to hear of yoru loss. You just never know how or why things happen. I had a friend who had a 6 month old dog and her husband was giving it a bath in the sink and it went limp and died. No warning or anything. Sometimes things just happen. I'm so gald you had a wonderful last day with him!!

I am so sorry to hear about Jag. My thoughts are with you. I too lost my little spike...he was just shy of his 10th birthday. it was on November 8th. He had undetected cancer...just shut down one day and that was it. One of the saddest days in my life so I know how you feel. We will be reunited with them one day and we'll all be so very happy. again, i'm sorry to hear this news.

Im so sorry about your babie :( sending prayers your way.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your baby. I was actually babysitting a cat once and the exact same thing happen to me. It was an older cat and I also believe that he had a heart attach. Except when he fell over that was it, I am so glad you got to enjoy the time you had together. :)

I'm so sorry for your loss... :( Just remember the good times! And at least you had a good last day with him. :)

I am so sorry, my prayers are with you at this time.
