My 10 year old Shi Tzu mix died very suddenly. Within minutes of my husband letting her and her sibling outside to go potty she was gone. I have a fenced-in yard and they always run to the fence line to bark at the neighbor dogs or neighbors out in their yard. According to our neighbor - he saw that they running towards the fence close to where he was working and when he looked up a few seconds or minutes (don't really know how much time passed, but not much) he saw one dog was running around and Daisy was laying on the ground next to the fence. He walked over to see if she was OK, but he said he possibly saw her take her last breath.
He then came to the front door to tell us something was wrong with our dog. She was laying perpendicular to the fence on her side laying flat facing the neighbor's property. We don't know if she hit the post accidentally and broke her neck or had heart failure, but she died very quickly. I cried for a solid week. I called my vet about 5 days later to see what they can do because it's driving me crazy what happened, but they said too much time has passed. Do you think based on how she was laying and because she died within minutes of letting her out, do you think it was heart failure of some kind?

You have my heartfelt condolences on your loss. So sad. It does sound like heart failure or a massive stroke. Sadly like with people some times dogs pass quickly and without warning. In many ways for them it is a blessing that they are not suffering, but our hearts break. Wishing you comfort in the knowledge that you gave the pup a wonderful life and I pray for you the the pup's memory is always a blessing.
This is so possible that your fur baby had a heart attack or stroke. What your dog had was fast so you the family would not suffer with a long illness like cancer. Often pets do not want there love ones to see them suffer, out of love for you. Your pet loved you so much. So sorry for your loss.
It almost sounds like she had a heat attack and this is common in dogs just like in humans. We never know when this will happen and when it does it is so sad. it is hard to help the dog in a situation like this and most of the time their tiny heart just gives out.
