my friends dog suffered symptoms liek that...he had cancer...the vet didnt find it in the first round of tests but she had to specifically request they run a cancer test and they found it then...it also had to be put down. im very sorry for your loss, just remember that all dogs go to heaven, and your puppy is now out of his pain.

It's hard to say with the information you gave. It could have been anything. But from what you're describing it might have been an impacted bowel. Puppies tend to eat anything not nailed down. He might have eaten something that wouldn't digest. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I am sorry for your loss but no one can diagnose a dog's illness or determine the cause of death over the net. You could of had a necropsy done that would have answered your questions.

Probably parvo. Why wouldn't you take it to the vet after it hadn't eaten for a day or two? That's cruel to make it suffer for 3 weeks. You probably shouldn't have dogs if you don't have the money to take care of one.

Sorry, but there's no way to make a diagnosis from the available information. Your veterinarian is the best person to give you some ideas, even if it's a few possibilities rather than one definitive answer.

I'm really sorry to hear about you losing your little puppy, and I can't answer this sad question, and you just in the beginning stages of grieve. that is the second stage, wanting to know why. Just try to remember (and believe me it is extremely hard to remember this) you little one is in a much better place and think of all the other dogs that he can play with in heaven

I am sorry to hear about your loss.
Could your puppy have eaten anything that he shouldn't have, like a poison or even a toy? He may have eaten a toy or something that could not pass and then go stuck.

I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved puppy! It may have been a genetic condition that caused his demise. (Think John Ritter and his undetected heart condition.) I don't think it was a result of the vaccination, but stranger things have happened. But please don't let this deter you from getting another dog when you're ready.
