Sucks man.
Sounds a little like gastric torsion (stomach flipping over). Large chest cavity? My understanding with obstructions is that most dogs won't even try to drink with an obstruction, whereas with torsion you'll get the drinking and vomiting; just can't keep anything down. Sorry about your loss. I hope whatever you find out helps.

Some ****sticks soak sponges in blood and leave them out for dogs to ingest. The dog can't pass the sponge and die. It sucks like hell to lose a pet.

Damn. Sorry for your loss.
I would be totally demolished if Chief Dog did that. FWIW, he did eat some wood (dumbass), and got an obstruction somewhere in his GI tract. It wasn't a huge deal, but he threw up a couple times and wife freaked. The vet massaged it around a bit and gave him a laxative (not sure why, but he never got the runs) and was fine pretty much right after she massaged his guts. If it was an obstruction, I'd think it would have ruptured something. Just an obstruction wouldn't make him go downhill like that I wouldn't think. I know virtually nothing about vet biology, but that's my take. |

I had a dog that got sick suddenly once. It was back in college and I was a dog breeder, and went up to see him quite often.
I noticed it as soon as I opened the door to let her back in the house she didn't come to me but was just lying on the ground. Turned out her stomach flipped and was cutting everything off, including her air; she was having problems breathing and moving around. They stapled her stomach to each side of her rib cage and she ended up being ok. But losing a pet always sucks. Sorry for your loss. |

Lost my dog right on a year ago to 'idiopathic seizures.' Around Christmas, he had a couple of incidents where he's get overexcited for his treat and kind of just fall over from a crouch, a couple weeks later he was falling over and wetting himself once or twice a week. Didn't make it to the end of January. He was 12 yo and the vets had nothing for him, it was just something that happened to some dogs.

When I was younger, my dog almost died from eating rat poison. Maybe he got into something?

I had a 4-year-old dog get sick, took him to the vet, he gave him a steroid shot, that perked him up for a couple of days, then when it wore off he reverted. Next morning, he could barely move, and I was trying to get him to get up and go to the vet again, he dropped dead right in front of me.
Vet did a necropsy but could never figure out what it was. |
