I had a 10 old Shih Tzu and she was healthy. She just passed a few hours ago and I can't understand why. She didn't have any signs of being sick she played outside, ate, her normal stuff. Went out one more time before bed. A few hours later I heard her cry out twice and went to check on her. I found her on the floor not breathing with her tongue out. We moved her and nothing, we picked her up we listened for a heart beat and nothing. I don't know what happened to her. It was too late to take her to the vet. Her tongue was blue and her eyes stayed opened. Please help if anyone has been through this I need to understand why, at least for my kids.

I am so sorry to hear this. Normally this sounds like a heart condition and the dog had a heart attack. I know it is hard to understand and nobody really does. There are times a dog develops heart problems that are not detected and all of a sudden the heart just gives out. Dogs are like humans and a heart attack can happen at any time.
Sorry for your loss, it could be many things. Only a Vet can tell you for sure!
This sounds like a heart attack or possibly a stroke. It is nearly impossible to know for sure. Just like people apparently healthy dogs die suddenly. I am so sorry for your loss.
