Senior Yorkie Talker | Lingering questions My 3 year old Yorkie died very suddenly early July of acute Pancreatitis. I just can't wrap my mind around how quickly he fell ill and the severity of it. We treated him aggressively at an emergency vet hospital in Annapolis, Maryland. He had ultra sound and plasma transfusions, as well as, pain management. I don't understand how a seemingly healthy, playful, and happy dog could fall ill so fast and die within 4 days. I ask myself over and over if it was something we did. Could it have been a genetic defect? I believe he came from a puppy mill or backyard breeder. We bought him at a pet store. I have since done much research and know how disreputable these breeders are. I would NEVER buy form a pet store again! Most of what I learned, I learned here from this community. I was ignorant about puppy mills when I fell in love with him. Regardless, he was a wonderful friend and we loved him very, very much. Do any of you have experience with Pancreatitis and do you have any thoughts about why this happened? I miss him terribly----he was my joy! Last edited by jshade; 08-05-2015 at 06:00 PM. |

| I am so very, very sorry for the loss of your little boy. My now passed girl was diagnosed with Pancreatitis at age appox.7 or 8 y/o. I assume it was caught early, she lived to be 17 y/o. I wish I had an answer to your question, it is devastating to lose a pup so young, so fast, not seeing or know signs (if there were any) of an illness. So hard digest. Keeping you in my prayers to help keep you strong in this painful time, (((hugs)))

| I am so sorry that you are going through this painful hurt. I know you loved your little one so much and to loose him so quickly is heart breaking. i hope you feel comforted each day with sweet memories of him until all the hurt is healed.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Oh gosh, I am *so* very sorry for your tragic and sudden loss - my heart really goes out to you...it's so devastating to lose a pet, let alone like this. I wish I had some answers for you, but I don't...I have no idea why some kiddos survive this and others don't. I'm so sorry .

| I am so sorry for your loss and yes I too would be asking myself the same questions you are. But sometimes there are no answers. My prayers are with you . |
