A friend of mine has a two year old rescue GSD that they think might have 
had a heart attack.  Anyone with experience in this area for dogs?

The dog was playing outside as usual.  When she let him in he walked around 
for a little bit, then threw up.  She called him to her and as he was 
walking over his body became rigid and he fell over/passed out.  He was 
breathing fine but his heart rate was very slow and he was not conscious.  
She picked him up (which amazes me as she weighs the same 105 pounds that he 
does) and took him to the vet.  By the time she got him to the vet he was 
behaving normally.

Weird.  I really feel for this young lady.  This is the third GSD she has 
rescued in less than two years and now they have all had serious health 
problems.  The first two have both passed away.  All of this has been in 
less than two years.  I think she is becoming discouraged with our wonderful 
breed.
