Gizmo dies while at vet being groomed
I dropped off our 3 year old male cream for his grooming at the vet. Since he is a bit to handle, they tranqualized him as before.
After coming out of it he seems fine. They went and started to brush him out. He then vomited and collapsed. The vet did everything to start his heart, but he died today.
I'm devistated and not able to understand what happened.
Now, I do not know what to do.

First off, I'm VERY sorry to hear your story. That is an agonizing story. May you find solace here at the forum. Please feel at home here, while you seek comfort.
When you are up to it, we would love to see pictures of your precious baby boy. You failed to mention his name. OOPS, it was GIZMO. That is a kewl name !!

Damn, I don't think a person could get any worse news then that, That's horrible news, For right now it might help to visit the memorial section. As for what happened, I know what I want to say but probably not the right time. Or maybe someone else can help with what may have happened.

Thank you for your kind words
Thank all of you for your kind words.
I lost my Jack-Jack several years ago and then we got Gizmo from Forestway Chows.
He was only 3... The vet was also devistated as well as the staff and they did everything to keep him alive, but we just don't know what happened.
I went to go see him and that was really when I lost it. He was my good boy, very affectionit. Loved to give kisses.
Our vet is at a loss. The staff was equally devistated.
Tomorrow, I'm taking my little boy to All Pets for a private service and cremation.
Both my wife and I are at a loss for how it happened so suddenly with no warning. He vomited then collapsed, from there it went downhill fast.
I hope to God he didn't suffer.
Our poor Boosha-Bear who is 13 is still looking for him when we walk, it's reallt tuff.
Never seem to have an issue with being tranqualized, but now I wonder if someone administered too much.
The house is now quite,

Yes, we've left a message and I emailed her. She was very helpful. Boosha had a Lomectomy a few years ago and Kim advised me as well. Poor girl was unable to walk for a long time until all nerves were back. She still has issues, and this is mostly due to age now.LEO's mum wrote:Kim Tansek helped me get my Leonora in my search for a chowling. You may already have, but might want to inform Kim & John of Gizmo, when you are ready. Although I've never met them, they sounded to be really caring.
Hugs,
Leonora & mum
Already my wife is asking for another Chowling. I don't know yet, but may have to.
I hope Kim will respond soon.
Regards,
Deanski

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry to hear about your devastating loss. You will be in my thoughts.
All I can say is, allow yourself time to grieve, only you and wife will know when the time is right for another chowling.
You certainly did not post in the wrong section. The memorial section is a private place just for you in addition to wherever else you may choose to post. Please know you're all in our thoughts.

I'm so sorry! There is no good way to lose a friend...especially a furry friend! ..this seems especially raw.
I lost my Bear in January because he was found to have the big C...I don't know what is better...KNOWing you are going to have to face life with him, or having him go unexpectedly...none of its fun.
Grieve. Grieve. Grieve. I STILL am and its been almost three months. I don't know if I will ever stop.

Kim spoke to my wife and she thinks it was or had to be the tranquilizer. This was the only factor we can come up with.
So, NEVER use a "reverable" tranq on a Chow.
My poor boy, I'm so sorry. I knew he didn't want to go in for the grooming.
Worse yet was last night I was rubbing his belly as he lay there all relaxed.
Tomorrow will be a very tough day as I take him for the last time.
