    Sad My Puppy Died Today

    I'm having a really hard time right now... and with my husband being out of town, I need some comfort here. I was eating lunch today with my puppy (6 weeks old) and one of my older dogs playing by my feet. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but all the sudden my puppy was bleeding profusley out of her mouth. She died a few moments later. I checked her to see what happened, and it looks like her neck was accidently broke... my older dog must have stepped on her. I've been crying all day.... I'm having a very hard time because I feel like I should have had her somewhere else (maybe on my lap)... but she and my older dog (Gus... he's the one on my Avatar) have been playing together for weeks and had been fine. Gus and my other dog Sheldon have been mourning too... it was just so gruesome... I'm having a really hard time with what happened.

    This was a picture of her.

    I really don't know what to say to comfort you, but my thoughts are with you hun. I do understand how you feel on a lesser scale. My doberman used to put my dashaund/datsun through some terrible, terrible things when he grew tired of being harassed.

    I'm really very sorry this happened hun.

    Lots of love to you

    Oh no, how horrible! It was an accident though, there was nothing you could have done. Poor baby. I can't imagine how awful you must feel.

    As someone who has experienced grief about loosing a pet (all cats) especially kittens or young cats......... you may want to visit some of the pet grief sites available on the internet. They will be able to truely "be there" for you and be your ear to listen and shoulder to cry upon since the people there are either grieving themselves at that point or have grieved and want to be of assistance/support to others. Just do a search "pet grief support" ....

    None-the-less, you have my condolenscenes (sp?) as I can empathise. Every day I am grateful and thankful for the health and happiness of my (come January) 14 year old cat. For many many years I thought I was cursed as alot of my cats wouldn't reach 3-4 years of age before transitioning from this life. It was horrible. So I can empathise.

    Just take some time off/out for yourself. Cry. Grieve. Do NOT let anyone ever tell you "it was just a pet get over it and move on" !

    *hugs*

    I've rescued cats and dogs, and worked at a shelter for a while. I've lost mnay animals over the years, and they are a member of your family, so it's very, very painful. Try to not let any insensitive comments bother you if you come across any. *hugs* I'm so sorry that this happened.

    I haven't gone through it myself - but she's right pets do become a part of the family, so I know it must be hard. And probably so scary the way it happened also.

    i'm so sorry, honey. i know how hard it is.

    if it's any consolation, it's quite possible that the bleeding wasn't due to the fracture at all, but some genetic malformation or weakening of tissue, which might also have led to easy fracturing. this happens alot in puppies that aren't carefully bred. in other words, it's not your fault- nature just had Her plans, as always.

    i'm so sorry for your loss.

    I'm so very sorry. As GCG said, don't let anyone tell you you can't grieve for your dog. Sometimes ignorant people don't understand the bond humans and other animals can have together. You just deal with this however you need to.

    On a side note, the first thing I thought of was that the puppy might have had some disease. What makes you think it was a broken neck? Puppies (like human babies, really) are far more tough than we think. It would take a lot to break one's neck. If it was a disease then you'll have to have your other dogs checked.

    Sorry, just being extra cautious here.

    I haven't had an animal die in a long time, but just hearing your words brings it all back again. I'm really sorry.

    that's so awful! I'm so sorry! At least it was quick though, and accidental. You really couldn't have done anything about it since your older dog and the puppy had been playing together without mishap thus far. I'm soooo sorry. I hope you go through the whole burial ceremony so you can give yourself some closure, and hopefully soon you can get another puppy, not to replace your other one, but to give a puppy a chance at a happy home that only you can provide.

    It wasn't your fault, accidents happen. I'm sure you gave her a very good loving life for as long as you could. It will get easier, but it's always tough when a pet dies.

    Well, thanks again to everyone... I'm starting to feel better today. I'm trying to think of it in a positive light. Maybe this happened for a reason... my husband actually came home for the night (drove three hours from the job site) and I didn't go to work... so maybe we were supposed to stay home for a reason.... maybe something would have happened if not. There could be a ton of reasons for her death... but all I know is that she was did a very good job of bringing a new light and happiness into our house while she was here.

    To answer the above question, when she died I was so confused at what happened I started to look her over. I pulled the blood out of her mouth thinking that Gus had bit her badly... but I couldn't find a cut. Then I picked up her head to check her neck and you could hear it cracking. Sorry to be so detailed, but I just wanted to answer your question.

    Gus may have gotten carried away with their playing and shook her. Dogs often hunt small animals by breaking their necks that way, and they play like they hunt. If you get another puppy, you might want to get a bigger one.

    I'm so sorry. Sometimes animals just don't know their own strength... I know somebody who had a small baby kitten that was playing in the dog's food bowl (very very big dog), and, well..... Sometimes these things just happen. It wasn't your fault and please don't put that blame on yourself!
