I put them all out in their kennels Saturday morning and then went to run some errands...I usually feed about 9pm..so when I got to her and her kennel mate only Nel came out...I went in and called her..she came out walking hunched and swollen...I immediately called my vet (who is there for me 24-7) rushed her in BUT it was to late..she was too much in shock to help..her heart rate was 112 and her temp was 96.4...I cradled her in my arms, held the vein off and cried as she peacefully went to the bridge. The vet feels the spleen flipped first and then caused her to BLOAT,...her stomach had not torsioned. I have not been able to talk about this as it is so senseless to me...I would have never knowingly bred into a line that is known to produce this.
