My dog died of heart failure this morning
Hi, my dog was 13. She was throwing up a little over the past few days, and I noticed twice her breathing being a little weird. It was never consistent and she seemed totally normal in general. I didn’t think much of it; she was old and she likes to eat grass - and I know dogs do that when they have an upset belly and want to throw up, but she did this ALL the time, so I thought she just did it because she’s silly and in return threw up a lot.
I woke up and when I went to leave for work, she kept gagging and trying to throw up and was having really rapid breathing. She was being so weird. So I took her to the hospital, she held on the entire morning and drive there but then stopped breathing when the docs took her back and she passed. It felt so random. I just feel so bad because she seemed so scared. When I look back on the video I took of her, I thought she was trying to act like she was okay and just wanted to be near me, but she looked so scared. I feel so horrible. I don’t want to think it’s my fault, but I just feel really bad and upset for her. Thank you
