Hi everyone, this is my first post on this forum and I need your help trying to find some answers...
We got Lexi from a reputable breeder a week ago, she was born on May 12th 2016 and we have been waiting for this moment for over 6 months.
Yesterday, she seemed a little bit more tired than usual but we thought it was normal as she needs a lot of rest at her young age. When it was time for dinner she still seemed ok and happily waiting for her Kong (i filled it with her dry kibbles only). At one point, she stopped eating, barked once and started to throw up. She didn't chew on the kibbles as they were still intact so we thought she puked because she ate too fast... But a minute later, she was still trying to puke but nothing came out, she had uncontrolled bowel movements and collapsed on the spot. We knew something was wrong and took her right away to the vet... On the way there, she began throwing up blood (more like a pinkish fluid) and as soon as we got to the vet he said she has already passed.
Everything happened so quickly, she threw up, collapsed and died within 5 minutes. At first we thought she choked on her food or on a toy but she did not cough or anything... and she threw up a lot of blood.
Does anyone know what could have caused this? It way too sudden...
We are still in shock. She was the most beautiful, smart and playful baby... Always so full of energy :frown2: All of our friends and family were looking forward to meet her
Now we are just trying to find out what happened. We are devastated over her loss and keep thinking that maybe we could have done something more to save her. Thank you all for reading this
RIP Lexi - xoxo
