Cause of Sudden Death in a Puppy?My puppy 6 months old just died. She was playing with our other dog and he came in and whined. I went out; she was lying on her side. I went over I pulled her tongue out breathed into her, lifted her and massaged her chest. Her eyes started moving and then she woke up. She was doing okay. An hour later I reached down to pet her and she didn't respond. I tried to resuscitate her again to no avail.

Causes of Sudden Death in Dogs?I come home for lunch everyday to feed my dogs and check on them. Thursday, everything was normal. Both of my baby dogs were acting normal. I fed them and gave them a treat like I alway do before I leave. I came home after work and found my 6 year old Yorkie dead/cold dead. She was 14 lbs and bit overweight, but she was healthy, active, and playful.

How Is Parvo Transmitted?My brother had a puppy that passed away about 4 days ago from parvo. Before we found out he had parvo, he had diarrhea really bad, but we didn't know at the the time that is what he had. I cleaned up the mess and walked on the floor after I cleaned. My puppy has never been to my brother's house and was never around his dog. He woke up this morning and vomited 4 times in a row and then stopped.

Finding a Low Cost Vet?My lil puppy thinks he is a tester for all things on the floor and ground. Today my poor Jack has been throwing up and when he goes potty it is liquid; he is still drinking water. I want to have him seen by a vet, but I don't have the money to pay at the moment and I just moved here and don't know where to take him.
