His white cell count was elevated but not to any extent to raise alarm. Yesterday, he showed some signs of improvement in the morning. As the day went on he took a sudden turn for worse and couldn't drink when water was brought to him. My husband took him to the vet right away and within an hour he had gone in to cardiac arrest and died. Unsuccessful attempts were made to revive him. I was advised no way to know what happened without a necropsy.
In my case it was more a burning sensation in the center of my chest. I could also feel it radiate up to my jaw and in my arms. I was never really short of breath, but I was nauseated and sweating. The last time I was also shaking. I knew someting was wrong. At times even now I have a strange tingling in my upper back between my shoulder blades. Have you had any discomfort of this type?

Didn't sound like it. Always hard to lose them. So sorry.
Sounds like afib given his age and the amount of running he has done. He needs to see an electrophysiologist so that he can be monitored during his runs or whenever he has the episodes. Best wishes for getting a handle on his sudden fatigue.
It is difficult of course to say what happened but statistically speaking, sudden death in a senior dog is most commonly a heart attack. In your case however, the symptoms you are describing, and with your dog being part shepherd I worry about a tumor on the spleen known as a hemangiosarcoma. These tumors can develop and not show any signs for months and then one day they rupture and internal bleeding occurs. Often the dog then passes away from internal blood loss within 12 hours.

It is a sign of a warning. Being overweight you have much higher standing risk factors. You should lose weight to decrease the risk for heart disease. Use a body mass indicator.
Best luck to you!

There would be no external signs of heart attack and the only way to establish the condition of the heart is through autopsy. When my Mother was admitted to emergency, she had no chest pains, no prior problems, and was just short of breath. They told me to return in the morning. When I arrived, they informed me that she had passed away in the night. They assured me before I went home that there was nothing wrong with her heart.
200 ounces per pound of body weight. It takes 250 pounds of white chocolate to cause signs of poisoning in a 20-pound dog, 125 pounds for a 10-pound dog.
Milk chocolate: 1 ounce per pound of body weight. Approximately one pound of milk chocolate is poisonous to a 20-pound dog; one-half pound for a 10-pound dog. The average chocolate bar contains 2 to 3 ounces of milk chocolate. It would take 2-3 candy bars to poison a 10 pound dog. Semi-sweet chocolate has a similar toxic level.
