Too Many Losses And Now Clyde Is Gone Also, German Shepherd Died Thursday Aug.22. Options

[Chief]

Hi, I am new to this forum. I lost my big beautiful male 9 yr old German Shepherd suddenly Thursday night. He was playing, ate a good supper and then wanted his evening truck ride. My friend, myself, and my two other German Shepherds went for a ride. He was fine and even had a treat while out for his ride. We arrived home. He hopped out of the truck, made it about 15 feet, keeled over and was gone. I tried to bring him back and he took his last breath while I was doing mouth to mouth on him. He had been healthy and I did not know he was sick. My dogs have the best medical care available.

His autopsy done on Friday showed he had dilated cardiomyopathy. Sometimes with this there are no symptoms.

I watched my Mom die the same way just 5 years ago on September 28. She keeled over and there was nothing I could do to help her either. Died in a very similar way. My Dad died the following day on September 29. This is not a joke. It really did happen.

A few short months after the deaths of my parents I lost my entire family due to estate fights. My 3 German Shepherds were all I had. I don't think I can go on. I can't take any more loss.
