At age 4 or 5 she had very weak back legs and we did eyething from injections to eyerything but had no effect .later our rooms were on 2nd floor and our husky used to sleep with us so it was difficult for her to get upstairs and she used to take long time.In the end she just stopped climbing stairs and used to howl in pain or saddness whenever she eanted to come up.

A month back we shifted to a new house ,the floor was quite new and slippery and it became more difficult for her to get up .for refrence she was 40 and i used to take her out for porty and she could barely walk more than 2kms and i had a big lawn so i used to motivate her to run up to me but after a few rounds she used to just give up and sat down.


In her lqst days days she stopped eating and passed today morning .she had been feeling depressed for a while now i could feel it but we thought it just mood swings as she just had her periods.

Are there any reasons why she passed ,we loved ,took good care,doctors told us she may have had a cardiac arrest but not sure.

i am so sorry for your loss, no one here would know why she passed but it sounds like she had some medical issues with her back side that could not be fixed. it sounds like you tired to give her a good life for as long as you could. and now she is out of pain and running free.

Very sorry for your loss

My condolences on the loss of your husky. My old guy passed this summer in about the same manner as yours. Years of increasing hind end difficulty, stopped eating then drinking, died 2 days after that.

He was just over 13.  I took him to the vet the first day of not eating. She examined him and did blood tests, expecting to find kidney failure but everything was normal. Just age. I always wondered about degenerative myelopathy but she thought it was just severe arthritis. I believe he had some mild dementia in the 6 months or so before he died. But hours before, he had difficulty with mobility and I really thought he wasn't all there. So my main suspect is a stroke. He d spent most of his final day laying on his blanket on the floor, either stretched out beside my leg or spooning with me. He died in my husband's arms while I took a break from the floor.
