I'm writing this and i am in tears. My 7 weeks old husky puppy (male) died
today. I woke up this morning to give him his meal. He wasn't hungry...and i
know he would be because his last meal was 13 hours ago! so i knew there
was something wrong. And also, he wasnt really playful, kinda lazy etc... and
then, it happened: he pissed blood. that's when i grabbed him and took
him to the vet (one hour ride in the car). We got there, the doctor finds out he
has high temperature(39 Celsius) and he gave him a shot of antibiotic to lower the temperature and
gave me another antibiotic for the blood issue to give him for the rest of the week and told me to keep a close eye on him during the upcoming period. So we left the vet, i put him in the car, turned on the AC. and into 2 minutes of time, he started making sounds like coughing(it's like he couldnt breath correctly or something. so i opened the windows, turned around and decided to go back to the vet.
10 minutes into time, the dog died( he had blood coming out of his penis)....... My brother is arguing that maybe he had choked on something that was on the car mats, but i AM POSITIVE that there were nothing on the floor inside the car that he could choke on. The car is clean as snow! He was laying on some newspapers, and i doubt he can choke and die from taking a bite from eating the newspaper ( he has 5 teeth...he can chew).......
This is devastating cuz "Wolf" was just the most beautiful husky puppy i have ever seen(i have pics of him). His blue eyes and eyebrows were the most unique and gorgeous sight i have seen...and believe me , i've seen a lot of husky pics online.....
I can't stand the thought that he may have died of choking because i was there and i didn't save him....I could never forgive myself....!
AND TO MAKE THIS WORSE, I JUST HAPPEN TO BE A FIRST TIME DOG OWNER! i spent more than 2 weeks doing research online to prepare and educate myself about huskies before i bought him....and look what happens.... what should i do???i cant seem to get over this tragedy.....
AND WHAT'S REALLY STRANGE IS: I WOKE UP TODAY WITH A COLD...AND I NEVER GET COLDS DURING THE SUMMER! IT WAS LIKE SOMETHING WAS SENDING ME A MESSAGE .....
A very horrible, yet somewhat sacred experience, that made me realize how fragile life can be....and all the crap that happens in the world is really not worth fighting for.....a little space in everyone's heart is all that's needed....

Oh my god, I am so sorry to hear about your boy

Unfortunately nothing can bring the poor soul back, but I'm pretty sure that it wasn't choking that made him die so please don't blame yourself.

Was the vet not able to shed any light onto the cause?

I know you feel like locking yourself away and crying but I would highly reccommend that you call your breeders and talk to them about it. Maybe they have had something similare happen before and especially if god forbid any of Wolf's litter brothers & sisters have the same they can hopefully get to the vets with more information.

My thoughts are with you at this sad time. Wolf was obviously only meant to be with you for a very short time, but hopefully his passing won't stop you from offering another dog in the future a loving home.

Take care xxxx

sorry to here such a sad story, can i ask how long you had him for as if he is just 8 weeks he may of been to young to leave mum and if you only just got him then you might be able to get a ortopsy done to determine death and maybe go back to the breeder

How awful for you and for poor Wolf. Please don't blame yourself - it sounds as if you did everything you could for the poor little sausage from the minute you knew there was a problem. I should definitely let the breeder know - if I were the breeder I would be taking responsibility for something being wrong with the pup before I sold it, and would be offering you another pup.

same here, would def go back to the breeder

omg that is so sad are you sure he was as old as 8 weeks only he should have had more than 5 teeth, how long had you had him for? cos i would be on the phone to the breeder maybe he was incubating some disease when you got him.

hi and thanks for the message. i had him for only 10 days....i didnt do an autopsy, cuz i was so in shock and sad and my adrenaline levels were very high during the incident . so i wanted to bury him as quick as i can cuz i couldnt stand watching him laying like that in front of me....
But the vet argued that he could have been poisened by sniffing or eating rat poison or cleaning detergents like DETTOL (which i was using to clean after him).
And he said that EVEN if it was poisoning, it could take more than 48 hours to show, and the dog could show obvious signs(vomiting etc...). But what's driving me crazy is that "wolf" was completely fine yesterday evening(playing, running, acting crazy like he usually does, biting, loving etc...). and just like that, he died in the car!
I don't know what am gonna do with myself! i can't imagine getting another husky puppy now.....Wolf was born to be with me. His personality matches me 100 percent...and now he's gone....

im so sorry,,,,,, i have used dettol befor with pups and not had anything happen, but i would say he was still to young to leave mum and that i would still go back to the breeder even if you dont want another pup but to let them know incase it is something else
