My baby Pug was 4 and half years old. He was my everything, my best friend, my baby, my world. He was fit and fine, but last night he didn't eat and he couldn't walk. I was so worried what was happening to him? It was late night so I decided to take him to vet the next morning. When I woke up he was lying on the floor and pissing he couldn't even get up to piss.
When I took him to the vet the doctor said nothing and gave him DNS and three other injections. Suddenly my baby pug pooped and he stopped breathing. I told the doctor to do something, but he said, I can do nothing. My baby Pug's tongue was out and turning purple.
This is saddest day of my life. I miss my baby so much. Can anybody tell what actually caused him to die? Pugs live like 10-16 years; my baby was just 4 and half.

Did you ask the vet? The doctor who saw him and treated him would know better than any of us. Sometimes even they dont know what caused a death. So sorry for your loss
You have my deepest sympathy to on your loss. Losing a fur baby is so hard and rips your heart out. I would talk to the vet who threated your baby and see what they can tell you. While it may be challenging to do this calmly, at least for me it would be a challenge, if you can approach without anger, the vet may offer insights as to what happened.
How sad that we have to give up our beloved pets and it can be even more stressful when we do not understand why/what happened...
Undoubtedly you were stressed out (maybe hysterical?) when this happened and the vet probably understood this was not the right time to have peaceful discussion.
Now that you have had a few days to think about what has happened, you may be able to talk with the vet about your baby. Please do not try to do this over the telephone as no decent conversation can expire over the telephone to help you understand the situation.
Please be ready to accept the fact that, in all reality, without an autopsy, your vet may not be able to tell you more than what might have been the cause.
He may tell you to think back over the past few days to see if you can remember anywhere your baby may have been that might have presented a danger that you were unaware of. People discard all kinds of stuff that dogs may be drawn to and even in small amounts could be dangerous to a small animal.
I know that it is possible your little pug has been nowhere that he could have found something but try to remember just to be sure.
Giving up a pet is never easy and you are not alone in feeling stressed and grieving over your fur baby's death.
Google pet grief counseling with your zip code and you will find several sites that you can chat with someone and most likely there are some group sessions available if you would like to talk to someone one to one.
Here are a couple of sites to get you started.
