I remember yesterday morning before going to work, I was busy infront of my pc when suddenly Yahoo approach me, he jumps and rest his two front paws on my lap, he always does this whenever he sees me sitting infront of my pc. But yesterday I didn't know it will be his last. During our lunchtime at the office, our housemaid called us that she saw Yahoo not moving while sleeping and that when she touch him Yahoo is already dead and stiff. I really don't know what killed Yahoo. Actually its our 2nd experience, we also have a dog before that mysteriously died but he is about 3 years old. What do you think is the cause? The hot weather? Or something else?

I'm so sorry about your pup. I'd most certainly look at the dog food....rat poison was found in the recalled Dog food. Have it checked. Poor little pup. And you gave it such an adorable name. Too sad.

Yeah we named him after Yahoo by my partner, it is where we meet. I've been thinking also of the shampoo that our maid had use to Yahoo. Maybe she put a lot of it. I think it has some poisonous chemicals on it.

Is there anything around your house that he could have eaten that be not good for dogs, a vet on out local TV station said a couple of weeks ago if you have a cat and have tiled floors, when you wash the floors you should wash the second time to get the floor cleaning stuff from the floor and cats lick themselves so much they can ingest this and it can kill them, maybe the same can be said for dogs. I am sorry for your little dog and for you as it is horrible when you lose a pet....take care...

Yahoo likes to eat and bites everything he sees. He maybe eaten something around the house that killed him. My partner tells me that maybe a fishbone has been embedded in his intestines.

I am so sorry for your loss of Yahoo. Sometimes, if a dog gets dehydrated in extreme heat it can cause distress. But if you had plenty of water supplied for him, that shouldn't be the case. Could it be possible that he got ahold of some contaminated food? An example would be the pet food that has been recalled here in the US. There are so many pets dying here right now, it is extremely sad. My heart goes out to you and your family. Blessings.

The puppy could have had some serious desiease that you didn't know about, or even perhaps parvo. There are several different types of sicknesses that can cause a puppy or even a full grown dog to go down like nothing. I think that there's a common heart worm problem that can cause similar problems, and the new dog food conspiricy thats on the television everywhere. It just sad, you should tune in it could have been what happened. God Bless

I've seen him not doing well a couple of days ago but the past few days he is back to his normal behavior. God bless too.
