He did start sleeping alot. Otherwise he was eating, playing, pooping, etc normal. He did start getting a horsh bark. Toby also had gone blind in both eyes. The day of his passing he woke up, played, ate, went outside to do his business came back into the house, his back legs gave out he fell got back up and starting panting and couldn't breathe. Within minutes he was gone with blood coming from his mouth. We did not do an autopsy and Vets are saying either anyrusium or heart attack. But the signs weren't there and he wasn't distressed. Can anyone help us to understand what took our boy. Thanks

I am so very sorry for your loss. millie

I'm sorry about your little Toby passing. It is never easy loosing a little one, especially after 12 years in the family!
I lost my beloved chihuahua in a very similar way many years ago at the age of 9. She had been outside for a few minutes, and collapsed as soon as she came inside. It was CHF, and the vet said that there was nothing we could have done for her. This WAS back in 1979.
Just know that he not in pain anymore, and is waiting at the Bridge. God bless you!

I am so sorry for your loss. We lost our little Lolita to heart problems and she had much the same symptoms except in the end she became very constipated and lethargic.

LLharley · 03-08-2013, 01:03 PM

Thank you all for your love during this difficult time. Right now we are concentrating on our little Samantha who was his soulmate for 12 years. She has collapsing trachea and we were concentrating on her health and feel we may have overlooked Toby. But, Toby had his second 6 month phyiscal November 2012 and all was good accept Thyroid and he was put on meds. He did show lethargic two weeks prior to passing. As we all know, this is so hard and we cry everyday. Even Sammy.

LLharley · 03-08-2013, 01:33 PM

Thank you for your caring. We are just devastated. Cannot believe are baby is gone.

LLharley · 03-08-2013, 01:38 PM

Thank you. This has been a nightmare for us. Just devastated. Vet not sure if it was massive heart attack and or anyruisum. Either way it was sudden and if he did have a problem the Vet didn't catch it nor did his Holistic Accupuncture Vet. I saw some small signs of something wrong two weeks ago but Toby wasn't distressed. I feel I should have seen more. If it was CHF he wouldn't have lived long due to his age I am told. His death was just so tramatic. My husband and me were trying to save him and he died in my husband's arms. SO qucik.
