I was at Talon's breeders' house yesterday and she got an unexpected call from a man who owns 6 Aussies including a littermate of Talon's named Oreo. He said he fed Oreo this morning and then let her out to play. After that he went to work on a tractor and Oreo lie beside him the whole time. After some time he had to go run do something off the farm so he put Oreo in her kennel run and left. Was gone no longer than 10 minutes and she was dead. No blood, no struggle, nothing. Looked like she just lie down and died. He has no neighbors, he lives on a farm. No poison around and he had been with her the whole time. She ate fine and her stool was normal.
The breeder told him to have an autopsy done. So off to the vet they went. He called last night and left a message saying he'll go into more detail later, but she had several blood clots and her lungs were BLACK with little white spots. We are just stumped and I'm going to call the breeder this morning to see what it was that killed poor Oreo so suddenly. I'm worried it's something the other pups in the litter can have. I fear for my Talon. With Gracie so ill that is the last thing I need.
I'll post what the diagnosis was when I hear.
