She said just leave the dry kibbles down and he would eat when he got hungry and that he could go for 7 days without eating and be fine (Yeah Right). I wasn't impressed by the whole experience at vet's. Decided I wasn't going back to that vet again. Hunter still had bloody stools next couple days so I took him to another vet today and brought a stool sample. Their are a couple Yorkie breeders that take their dogs to him so he has experience with Yorkies.
How would I go about seeing if she would help pay some of the Vet bills ? When I e-mail her to tell her about Hunter should I say something to her or see if she offers ?
If I should say something to her how should I word it? |
Tell her the same thing you told us...your concern is for her other dogs and puppies, they need to be tested and treated. I'm no breeder, but I would think she would appreciate that information in order to protect her babies and her business. Wait and see if she offers to help, but be sure she knows how sick your little Hunter is and that you're doing everything possible to see that he is taken care of, medically treated. If she just says thanks for the information, but my dogs are all healthy...ask if you can have her vets proof that he was checked and healthy when you got him. Then...you have to be certain that there was no way your puppy was infected in your home or anywhere he might have been since you got him, you should never take a puppy to public places...like a park where he could get infected. That being said...You have the proof that he had seen various vets for this same complaints, not eating well, diarrhea, sometimes bloody...and general poor health. Good luck, be firm with the breeder, but not accusing, not rude. And most of all I wish your baby good health!!!
