Ok..... 7 month old female pup dies and this is all the info I
have.............. "We may never know for sure, but it looks like probably
something
with her heart. This female just keeled over dead a few days ago. The owners
did some research and apparently there's a genetically based thing in German
shepherds that I'd never heard of, kind of a sudden death syndrome, that has
something to do with heart arythmia's."............. Does anyone know of
this,
or have had it happen to one of theirs?
There's something recessive in Portuguese Water Dogs like that, never heard
of something SPECIFIC to GSDs, BUT, there are numerous things that CAN happen
with hearts in puppies in general....(SAS, PDA, PRAA, etc.)
Is this one you sold/placed and was she vet checked prior to sale/placement
by you or shortly after by the owners? If she had an issue severe enough to
be dead at 7 months, I'd have expected a competent vet to pick that up.
Here's a link w/ more info:
