I am hoping someone may know why my dog Charlie died at home suddenly.
He was a Westie of 13 and was very well for his age. He came into the kitchen his happy self and 2 minutes later he was lying on his side and seemed to be seizing. Then he let out an awful howl and just stopped breathing. I know it may sound daft, but I just hope he had no knowledge what was happening to him. He was my best loyal friend and I miss him so much.

You have my deepest condolences on the loss of your fur baby.
Just like humans, sometimes you never know what causes them to pass suddenly.
You could ask his vet for input, but I find it more helpful to focus on the good life you an your pup shared. It is so hard no matter what, to lose a fur baby, but hopefully you can find comfort in your memories and know that you gave your pup a wonderful life!
Thank you for replying, yes its tough and he was a rescue dog of 2 when we had him and gave him a fantastic 11 years, just hard adjusting without his company.
Thank you from Rob
Hi Rob, I hear you! I miss my girlie every single day!! Our boy is amazing and I love him to pieces too!! Maybe some day you can find it in your heart to bring another lovable rescue into your home and world!! Not as a replacement...that never happens, but to expand your heart to love another fur baby!!! It is so hard to lose a fur child. Take care of yourself!! If you find the grief does not ease, I strongly suggest finding a local grief counselor that specializes in loss of fur kids. Our local animal shelter has an amazing program!! Wishing you always find comfort and joy in your memories!! You gave your pup 11 amazing years and he will keep that joy in his soul always!!
He might have had sudden heart failure due to his old age. The best person to ask is your vet.
Thanks for letting me know, i suppose its not going to bring him back if i did, just hope he felt little pain. Thanks Rob
I so understand your grief. My Ozzie was 16...got him from a terrible rescue shelter ate up w/fleas so bad he had no hair @ age 5. I didn't take him 2 vet this weekend when he had what I thought was a heat stroke Friday. He had howled, fell over & was dead. I picked him up & held him & he came back after waking up so stiff like. I said I would take him 2 vet on Monday. Sunday I took him 4 a long drive, fed him a slice of bacon....he walked up our outside steps, came inside & seemed 2 b ready 2 fall over. I picked him up, he howled so loud & hard, peed & defecated on me, died. He breathed like 3 breaths of gasps & never came back. I miss him w/all my heart & feel devastated I didn't rush him 2 a 24 hour vet clinic.
