My 9 year old male Bulldog passed away today, he would have been 10 on Dec. 8th! I was with him when this happened and he died as I was petting him and my family and I are devastated!!!! It appeared as if he had some type of seizure. He was lying on his left side and his head was looking up at the ceiling. He was making a growning noise while the seizure was occuring. I was trying to comfort him during his ordeal and thought the seizure would break and he would be fine but he stopped breathing during the ordeal and came through!
He was a great dog to our family and will be missed immensely!!!!!! He was a healthy dog throughout his life with just some minor allergy issues like most Bullies. He was also acting normal up until the incident. Does anyone have any idea what may have happened to him? Maybe a stroke? Any help would be appreciated and will help us deal with our loss. Thank you
Sorry, I meant to say he

So so sorry for your loss of your beloved bully
I do not know what could have caused this, but it sounds like he was much loved and taken care of. Perhaps your vet can offer some suggestions of what happened. Please keep us updated.Take comfort in knowing how much you all loved him and happy his life was you. We have a 9 year old babybully and am so dreading the eventuality of losing him :-(

Please accept my deepest sympathy. I cannot begin to speculate what might have happened with him but I hope you can get some answers from someone here or possibly your vet's office.

My swimming bully buddy!
I'm so sorry.
I don't know what could have caused it. It might be hard to determine if he was generally healthy and this happened so sudden. Again I'm so sorry, I'll keep you in my prayers.

There are no keys on my keyboard to express my sorrow...
I am crying and inconsolable for you right now as I live the 2nd day of my life without my best friend... I am so sorry..
the same thing hapened to me
i had dolly she was a rescue...loved her to death....i still miss her now.....so anyway i was taking her to the vet,,,we went in for a check up...the vet was saying how good she looked could lose a couple of extra pounds......and she droped dead right their in front of us.....he rushed her back and no luck.....she had a tumor on her spleen that just let go......
so i am sure your guys passing was an undetected tumor.....or blood clot......
so sorry for your loss....its so hard no matter how we lose them...but he knew you were their at the end and i think thats the most imortant part.....
I'm so so so sorry, what was his name?
I'm so sorry for your loss, what was his name, I dont think you mentioned it :( I've sorta appointed myself the keeper of the Rainbow Bridge Poem, and I would like to post it in his honor, if you dont mind.

So very sorry, Rudy was
So very sorry, Rudy was beautiful. My 8 1/2 year old bully died unexpectedly as well. We came home and he appeared to be sleeping. Like Rudy, he had no medical issues and the vet also thinks it was something sudden like a stroke, blood clot to the brain or heart attack. It's been over two months and the not knowing for sure what happenned still kills me. I'm glad you were there for Rudy to comfort him as he left this life. Thinking about you and your family...
