to many chin chips??
Well this morning we brought a few fecals to be done, all came up negative, so thank god mickey did NOT die of a parasite or something else that spread to the rest of the chins he was with.
The doctor told me today that when he did the neocropsy he found that mickeys heart was not formed correctly. He said it looked developed but it was very malformed and he believes that it may have very well been the cause of his death... Mickeys birthday was today, he was a year old.
I also asked my vet how he would have euthenized mickey and he told me due to the tiny vains and such he would have done a heart stick. Im sorry but you all can disagree with me all you want, I would have rathered held mickey and let him pass then to do a heart stick on him. I cant imagine that!! I have witnessed it on a ferret and I think it is the most horrible way to put an animal to sleep.
So to anyone that was interested, basically it seems that mickeys heart was the cause of his death. If this is in fact genetic I have an eagle out on my other two. I have his full sister and half sister. So im very worried now....
