Oh, Jen, I'm so sorry. He was much too young.
I didn't post about this right away since it was a shock and happened so suddenly.
We lost our black boy, Jagger, a month ago. He was fine when I crated him for work that morning. When I came home, he had pooped in his crate and I thought he had a tummy bug, so we got the appointment for the next morning and let him rest. By the morning, he was still feeling bad and by the time we got to the vet, he was down and couldn't walk.
Turned out he had an ulcer that ate through is stomach and he died from sepsis.
We don't really know how a healthy 5 year old lab could have had a stomach ulcer that bad. He did get 4 doses of metacam earlier in the week which does have a side effect of ulcers, but 4 doses? He had come to live with us permanently starting back in October except for over the holidays while Tickle was in season.
These photos are from the weekend before we lost him. We visited with my friend who had used Jagger for a litter with her girl. She kept a boy named Ruger, and her daughter kept a boy named Blue.

Oh my goodness. I am so sorry for your loss. My guy Asher is going through stomach problems. Now I'm completely determined to get a scope or ultrasound of his belly. What a beautiful boy. Again, so sorry. Hugs...
Breaks my heart again to read this. So, so sorry.
So sorry for your loss. He was such a handsome boy.
What a shock. I am so sorry for your loss, I can't even imagine...
