Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 You can discount any gas mate as you would be first to know about it on breakthrough .Did you examine dog at all ,what colour were the gums .Sorry to be insensitive but was you who brought this to our attention .IMO your dog died from heart attack due to heat exhaustion.RIP Russell.Hazard of working a dog this time of year . 3 Quote Link to post
dillydog 8,463 Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Sorry to here this Fireman, always liked the look of her what a shame. Chin up mate things have a way of sorting themselves out, if i can help let me know. 2 Quote Link to post
Cleanspade 3,323 Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 sorry to here that fireman. RIP. i personally wouldnt enter another terrier in an earth that i lost a dog in unless i new exactly what happened to the dog. although i feel foxdropper may be correct. the nature of the game is to use the terrier carefully and give it every protection possible. i would destroy the earth if it was me. no temptation then. plenty more to go at. again really sorry for ya. looked like a nice sort 2 Quote Link to post

No offence taken but it was a cold wet morning in Norfolk today and i'd be the first to say it's to hot to work my terrier and wouldn't give a feck who was watching etc ,but i felt it wasn't and she had blue gums and her tounge was hanging out,she's laid to rest now and if i thought it'd of made a difference i would have had a post mortem done but as far as i'm concerned it was a working accident and the earth is well known to both me and the keeper/farmer as it's a regular for us and the keeper has vermin records of it going back to 1953 and she was the first dog to be lost in it...Heart attack maybe FD but not because it was to hot imo mate.. 3 Quote Link to post
