She stopped breathing, was resuscitated, but then her heart rate was failing and her breathing was shallow which became due to fluid filling in her lungs. In the end, she was just too sick to make it. I will miss her terribly We still don't know the primary cause of her death and why she was having so many complications. The vet say we may never know why she got pancreatitis, why she was anemic, it could just be a variety of secondary issues to the pancreatitis or something else entirely.

I am so sorry for your loss, my heart aches for you, she was such a beautiful puppy, I can see why you fell in love with her. From reading your posts you have had a steady dose of medical issues from day one. I applaud you for taking such good care of her. Biewers are normally very expensive and their breeders from what I can tell are normally pretty good so it appalled me to read that they gave her to you at 8 weeks and that she was full of health issues when you received her. I don't know who and where you purchased her from but in time I sure hope you are able to share that with us and that you recoup your expenses and are able to welcome another puppy into your home because I can tell you will be terrific mommy.

I am so sorry for your loss, this is such a nightmare. I remember your pup having a hard time & suggested you contact the breeder. She is breeding sick puppies. Not only is she letting them go too young, having pancreatitis at such a young age proves that it is congenital & it caused her death. CA has puppy lemon law, hope you'll be able to get some compensation, can't imagine what the vet bills were like & all the heart ache!

Oh my goodness, you've really been through it with sweet Dany. You were such a good mommy to her. She was blessed to have you. I'm so sorry for your pain. Donna (DBlain) is right. I too hope you're able to welcome a new baby into your home because you are a great mommy and have a lot of love to give. Sending hugs.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. This is so sad. RIP Sweet Dany.

Just wanted to say the campylobacter can be deadly in young animals and humans too. It is often missed under the microscope and is more frequently found when a stool culture is done and sent to a lab.
