| petconnect.com I recently bought a baby yorkie from petconnect.com i did my research so i thought. i offered to fly to missouri where the are located and was told it was safe to have her flown as it was a short flight to michigan. From the day i had her she was at the vet. I called petconnect and told him she was sick. I was told the health guarantee didn't cover hypoclocemia (I never told them what the illness was, he said it right away). My puppy passed away after 6 days (all of which were at the vet). I informed them of her passing and he demanded an autopsy, which I refused because she had been through enough. My vets professional opinion was that she had seizures before she was even sent, thus her little heart could not take anymore. She did not pass away from hypoglocemia though she did have it, she was on glucose iv's the whole time. Please, if you are buying a pup do not buy from these people...not only am I sad over my puppy but I also spent over a thousand dollars on her vet bills. I am looking for a new pup, I was looking for 6 months before I picked "Chloe"....I live in Michigan so if anyone has any ideas let me know. I will drive to surrounding states and don't really care about the price, if I did I would have gone through with the autopsy and sued petconnect blind. Thanks for letting me vent!! |

| question why aren't you sueing them? Hell they wouldn't even know what hit them if that happened to me and I'd try to make it very public so no one else would buy from them ever again! |

| i thought about suing them but i wouldn't know where to begin since they are out of state. also, i can't prove her cause of death since i refused the autopsy. my vet did give me his professional opinion though and has no problem with citing her cause of death. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | That poor baby. I'm so sorry for what you went thru....too many people are just interested in shipping that little puppy and getting PAID. They don't care a bit about whether the dog makes it. How sad. |

| The only thing that made me feel a little better was that my vet has a "visiting" room and I was able to go everyday and spend as much time with her as I wanted, I had never used this vet before but will use him when I get a new baby, whenever that may be. My vet even called petconnect to explain to them what happened and my vet said it was like talking to a deaf ear....the guy just kept denying any responsibility. I had been around yorkies since the day I was born, my mom used to breed them and then could never part with the babies unless they were going to a neighbor or family member. This was my first time I was getting a baby to take care of "by myself". |

| Welcome and I'm so sorry to hear about your furbaby. If you're looking for another baby, check the For Sale or Wanted forums. Many reputable YT breeders post when their litters are available. Best of luck to you and your future baby.
