Yesterday she was fine and running hard...also had a good appetite and she ate all her food...today around 1 PM I get a call that she is on he side and about dead...I get home ten minutes later and she is about dead...no hope whatsoever...something burst in her and she bled out from her rear end...
Before I swapped dog foods several months back she barely ate that dog food...she was really wide at the loin area and now I am thinking it was her kidneys swelling up...I am speculating now...I been breeding dogs or around dogs for at least 55 years and never seen this before

I had a 2 year old gyp done something like that a few years ago. I bred her raised a litter and pulled her from her pups dried her up and carried her hunting hunted great all day put her in the pen fed and she ate her food the next morning blood all over the pen from her rear end and she was dead.

Could have twisted a gut, had a red bone gyp one time that was fine as the hair on a frogs ass one day and grave yard dead the next, I was only 17 at the time and we were poor so any type of necropsy at the time was out of the question, after talking it over with the vet and looking over several things it was the most logical conclusion we came up with...

Hate to hear about your gyp Reuben, I’m curious to see if anyone knows what it could have been

I am thinking it had to do with the previous dog food I was feeding...there was no chance of saving her...she bled that much...

I’ve never heard of of that degree of bleeding with bloat. If she bloated, she woulda been swolled up in her abdomen , just the cases i have seen. Bright red blood would indicate bleeding nearer the rectum end, dark tarry blood higher up the digestive tract

Did you have any type blood work done on her to determine, buddy of mine just had the same thing happen, dog was slick and healthy one evening and dead by the next, he took her to the vet and she came back positive for hookworms and vet told him that it’s way more common than we would think, especially in young dogs...

I am pretty sure it wasn't bloat...

Maybe hookworms but i had her on schedule for worming as my other young dogs...

It seems the bleeding was somewhat dark...

I didn't take a sample to the vet but it would have been a good idea...

Reuban, I just lost a 3 1/2 year old gyp. I only had her about 6 months. she came from Wisc. I noticed one day, she really had a bloody diarreaha  & my first thought was Parvo but I have never had a grown dog get it. Took her to the Vet & he pulled blood & her white blood count was sky high. He put her on fluids & antibiotics but she died in two days. he did a autopsy on her & she had a large mass on her Pancreas going to her intestine. There are probably a lot of reasons why some dogs die but unless they are tested or Autopsied it is hard to find out why.

This has nothing to do with your case but late last spring I had some sort of virus come through my yard and it only messed with a group of pups I had that we’re all about 8 months old and had their shots and walking definitions of health, my dad had a litter of beagle pups at his house which is about 500 yds from my place if that, and my cousin had a litter of bulldog pups next door, neither set of those pups had any type of shots or wormer and were all good looking, it was all the same symptoms of parvo, semi bloody stool, severe vomiting and diarrhea, I stayed on top of them and gave them Zofran in the morning before I went to work when I fed them for the vomiting, and kaopectate before work, soon as I got home and again at evening feeding when I normally feed up, this lasted 3 days, I had given a friend of mine a male as soon as they started getting sick not knowing how sick they were about to be, he didn’t give his the attention it needed and give it a 9-1 shot on top of what ever virus the dog had, and he didn’t make it, and I lost another male that was running loose that got down and laid up where I couldn’t find him and by the time I did it  was to late, now all these pups were in the same age group but out of 3 different litters and had all had shots and regular wormings, this whole time pups from both my cousins and my dads dogs all somewhat intermingled at some point in time and none of those pups had any shots and were already weaned and not a single one of them ever got the least bit sick or ever missed a beat, damndest thing I’ve dealt with health wise, and why it only effect the older vaccinated pups...

As o mentioned earlier, she was right at a year old and she was fine the day before when I let her out to exercise and feed the afternoon before...she played hard as usual and had a good appetite...

She was not slobbering that goes along with parvo...no diarrhea...the vomiting was not watery at all...never seen this before...
Seems what happened in Ohio is very similar to what happened to this gyp...
