Polish singer Doda announced on October 31 that her three-year-old Chihuahua, Foxy, died from acute respiratory failure just one day after his third birthday, despite days of intensive veterinary treatment.
Foxy Loses Battle With Severe Lung Failure
The sudden decline in Foxy’s health began with vomiting and general malaise before rapidly escalating into severe pneumonia. According to Super Express, Doda rushed the Chihuahua to a hospital where medical staff struggled to identify the cause of the rapid deterioration. The canine fought for every breath in an oxygen-dependent state while doctors monitored him through three daily medical reports.
Plotek.pl reported that the singer rejected a recommendation for euthanasia from an initial veterinary clinic, choosing instead to transfer the animal to a second facility in an effort to secure his recovery. Doda maintained distance during parts of the treatment to prevent her own emotional state from agitating the struggling animal.
