4 year old white shepherd dies suddenly - Page 2

Sunny, in 1979, my 4 yo Australian shep/husky x was diagnosed with hw, only after multiple and a variety of tests and concurred with exray. He was living on 1/3 lung capacity according to my vet...it took six months but we saved him with unconventional treatment since the conventional treatment would have killed him, according to my vet. He did experimental treatment t help me save this dog, and I was blessed with 4 more years with that great dog.

Back in those days, there was no preventative, but it was recommended to 'test' for hw every 6 months, which I did without fail. The problem is that conventional tests didn't show 'positive' and only when my dog became ill with coughing and then passing out, that I found a vet who went the extra for my beloved dog and who saved him by out of the box treatment.

Wow, Joan, that is scary!  

I had no idea the test could be inaccurate!  

That's a nightmare, not only for the owner, who has been out of town, but for the poor neighbour, who took care, too.
Sorry for your loss, it's heartbreaking.

So very sorry for your loss, RIP Ghost. Run Free...

So very sorry for your loss, how heart breaking.

Sounds like the cobwebs could be some form of lung disease and scar tissue from that disease.

So very sorry for your loss. It sounds to me like heart failure and as a result, possible pulmonary edema or sudden death from a lethal cardiac arrhythmia.
