My Pierre Passed Yesterday Completely Unexpected... PLZ HELP!
 

Hello-- its been since Feb since I have been on this site and unfortunately what brought me back is that my world, Pierre, passed away last night. I have never cried so much in my life. I am a wreck. He took a piece of me with him yesterday.

Pierre was doing fine--- he was playing having a great old day. Then suddently out of know where he whimpered and then ran off. Immediately, he threw up. Within seconds he collapsed into my arms. We rushed him to the doggie hospital. We thought that we were going to lose him on the way. We get him there-- they immediately take him back. They hook him up to an IV and put him into and oxygen tank. He was unconscious and was not responding. After about 30 mins he was blinking. We left and they said no news was good news. Every two hours I called in. First time they said that he wagged his tail and that he tried to stand up on his own (good news!!). Second time I called the Dr said that he had diarrhea and was in a lot of pain. Then an hour and a half later we get a call to get down there ASAP. We get there and they are performing CPR on him and are keeping his heart going. It was the worst sight to see. His eyes were rolled back-- his tongue was sticking out. So we had no choice but to let him go. Then suddenly blood came pouring out of his little nose. He was gone-- just like that. I held him for a bit after that. His eyes were open and it was as though he was looking right at me. But he wasnt there at all. It was like I was holding a stuffed animal.

THey have no idea what happened. They asked if he had eaten anything out of the ordinary-- and not that we know of. No poisin around. Nothing. One min he was fine and the next he was not. I just do not understand.

Please help me understand what happened to my baby. I am wreck and I know that there is nothing I can do to bring him back but I just want to understand. He was only a year and a half and was so cheerful and happy. He had so much life left to live. I dont know what to do without my baby.

Not sure if anyone else has been in a similar situation. Just want to know everyones thoughts. Keep little Pierre in your prayers (and me too if you dont mind). I hope that he is in doggy heaven playing. Everyone says he is in a better place-- truthfully I thought that his better place was with me, his mama.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any feedback.

I am so, so sorry. Did you ask the vet to perform an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death?

RIP little Pierre.

Iam so sorry for your loss of your little Pierre.

I'm so sorry to hear of Pierre's passing. I know your heart is broken. I will keep both in my prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss.
I know you are devastated and I hope your heart heals.
RIP little Pierre.

I am so sorry for the tragic loss of your Pierre. I'd ask for a necropsy if you want to find out what caused his death.

I am so very very sorry for your loss
 

I am so sorry about your loss.

I wish I could say something to help you.

Did they not give you any idea's as to what was wrong?

My thoughts are with you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your heart heals. It's like losing a child. I will have both you and pierre in my prayers.

Thank you everyone! Yes my heart is absolutely in two right now. Everything around me reminds me of him. He was my rock.

I didnt ask for them to do the autopsy. It was already $1200 down the drain and I cant imagine what that would have cost. Maybe it would hurt more to know exactly what it was. I just keep thinking if I had only taken him with me on that errand or I had done this.... maybe he would still be here with me. Sitting right on my lap as I type away. He always loved to do that. . . .

I am so sorry for your loss.

Wow, I am so sorry you about your Pierre. .

I am very sorry for your loss. I also agree with you, he is not in a better place, the best place for him was with you. Time will ease your pain, but you will always have a place in your heart for the little man.

Natalie, I am so very sorry for your sudden loss. Sending peaceful thoughts your way...

(((HUGS)))

I am so sorry for your loss. You will always have the memories of your sweet little Pierre, no one can take that away from you. I know that is no comfort right now, and I cannot imagine the grief you are feeling right now. My heart goes out to you. RIP sweet little Pierre.

I am so very sorry for your loss and offer my deepest condolences and sympathy. It certainly doesn't seem fair, and your life will be filled with sadness, questions and uncertainty for quite a while to come. These little ones are so precious to us, some people just do not understand. But for sure on YorkieTalk, you will find many people who DO understand and we all are there for you in this painful time.

Sending hugs and prayers to you.

RIP sweet Pierre. i am SO sorry :( *hugs*

My sincere condolences for your loss. RIP Pierre!
Hugs to you Natalie

RIP Little Pierre. Rest too Mama. Try to take some time just for you. Maybe a day or two off work.

Necropsy is the thing to be done to try to see what went wrong. We could all speculate but, without a necropsy it is truly undefined. Necropsy as opposed to emergency vet care is not that expensive.

Such a very sad time for you. Hugs ((((((((999 ))))))))))))))

My Heart is Sad Too
 

Dear Natalie

How awful you must feel, and how broken your heart. It will take some time for you to accept Pierre has gone. I hope you will soon find acceptance and peace in your heart.

You must not feel guilty for doing or not doing something. It sounds to me as though there was a very sudden, very critical physical occurance that caused Pierre to suddenly become so critically ill.

Some times, in animals, as in people, they can be born with a physical defect that no one knows about. Sometimes, there is no obvious symptom that there might be something wrong. We cannot even tell. I think that even if Pierre would have been at the animal hospital when this happened they likely would not have been able to save him.

At this time, it is difficult for you to take much comfort in what others may say, but I hope one day you will be able to remember Pierre and know he had the best life with you and you will also know that his death was not your fault. Sometimes, we do not know why such things happen.
Il est tres difficile.

My prayers for yourself and Pierre.

I am so very sorry.

I\'m so, so sorry......You have my heartfelt condolences.....

I unexpectedly lost one of mine a while back, I had to know what happened so I had a necropsy done to get some answers. It was only about $120 ..........Rip in Pierre

I\'m sorry for you loss.

I am so very sorry. Sending deep sympathy.....

I am so sorry for Pierre\'s sudden passing. My deepest sympathies to you. :rose:

i am so sorry :( as others stated necropsy will give you answers

I am so sorry you lost your little love. My heart is breaking for you.

Did they do blood work? Was ALT high and why they suspected maybe he got into something poisonous? Usually high ALT can be from something toxic

just trying to help you with getting some answers :(

I\'m so sorry to hear about Pierre. Sending hugs and prayer to you.
