I am so heartbroken right now. My puppy whose about four months old just died like 15 minutes ago.

My dad says that last night he didnt look so good so he gave him lots of fluids and everything and this morning he seemed fine then he seemed bad again and he just died....

I didnt even get to say goodbye. We dont know how it happened :/

Was he vaccinated? Having diarrhea? Vomiting? Where did you get him?

No vomiting or diarrhea and he was vaccinated. We got him from my dads girlfriend, who breeds dogs

Ask her, if there is anything going on with her dogs or something.

We had to sleep in our previous dog because the dog breeder wasn't breeding with passion, but for the money.

All of the other puppies were healthy, I know because I spent a lot of time with them and my dad and her keep me updated on all of them sad

Actually there was one that got sick and he passed on last month. But my puppy lived with my house by that time and hadnt any recent contact with the one that got sick :/

You need to talk to your dad's girlfriend. She NEEDS to know, so she can warn the owners of the litter mates to watch out for this. But she should also be able to tell you what might have happened if she's a good breeder.

Is it at all possible the puppy ate something when you weren't watching? Puppies can often get into stuff, like anti freeze, poisonous plants, chocolate, drugs, wires, strings, any kind of artifact may have potentially caused a blockage.

Did anyone see him die? Know if he had a seizure, heavy panting, any sort of symptoms might be a clue.

But definitely discuss this with the breeder. If it was something genetic, she needs to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Contact isn't always needed. - I think.
Was the other puppy who died brother or sister from yours?

Or like Gabrielle says, maybe the puppy ate something that wasn't supposed to be for puppies.

My dad saw him die and said he had heavy panting and he was feeling too weak to walk

Talk to the breeder about it. Like Gabrielle said.

Could've taken him straight away to the vet as well. I'm sure they have an emergency number. - Too late for that now tho.

Yea. Thanks

Two puppies from the same litter passing suddenly, sounds highly suspicious of genetic issues. Or maybe bad vaccines. I hope your dad's girlfriend can get to the bottom of this. Make sure she warns the other pup's owners, they should probably all get checked out at the vet.

What breed of dog was he? Did you feed him immediately before or after exercised intensively? Did he have a distended abdomen? Not wanting to lay down? Just trying to rule out bloat...

stare Really Funklepuss? Was that necessary? *shakes head*

Anyway, responding to the OP...

Maybe I shouldn't have said that, but If my cat behaved like that, panting, etc. I would drive it right away to the vet. Instead of trying to fix it Myself.
