| concerned about drowning hi everyone, i recently read a posting about someone's yorkie that passed away. it was very sad and i pray for them. after reading the posting, i got concerned. they had mentioned that their yorkie fell into their pool while they we're relaxing in a hot tub. they mentioned that their yorkie was alive and breathing after rescueing him out. they said when they went to bed he seemed ok, but woke up to find him not breathing. i'm concerned about what happened...because how do you know when your yorkie needs medical attention. since he seemed ok and well afterwards right? i'm a first time pet owner and really new so i want to make sure this doesnt ever happen to me either. we don't have a pool and i almost never let my lil one out of my sight but in this person's case, i concern as to what happen and why their yorkie still passed away. i don't want to ask the person posting coz they are probably still sad so i dont want to bother them. |

| There could be many reasons. There would be no way to ascertain the actual reason for Bailey's passing unless they had an autopsy done. There could be many reasons. I am guessing that either he did ingest or inhale too much of the pool water and may have had an alergic reaction to the chemicals, or he may have had some underlying medical condition that made his system become over-taxed by the shock of being in the pool. Accidents happen. It is hard not to be paranoid when you have a small dog, but you need to take life as it comes. All live things were meant to pass. It was Bailey's time.
