My vet treated him for loose stools and he was going to be rechecked this past Saturday. I had to bring him on Friday because he stopped eating and then he passed away on Sunday night. I called the breeder and informed them and they told me I needed to bring him to their vet in NY ( which is 2 hours away) Yesterday I picked my poor puppy up and took him there. I cried almost the whole way. It was so hard because in the short time he was with us he became part of our family and I love him so much. The breeders vet said the autopsy would take a half hour. I spoke with him at 4:30 yesterday and he said it appeared he died of hyperglycemia. What a lie. We gave him karo syrup (thru the advise of the breeder) 3 times a day. My vet was also giving him sugar. He said there was no blood in his stool and there was nothing else found. I told him I wanted to have my vet do an autopsy and he said "Well it is alot harder for me to sew these things back up than it is to cut them up." I couldn't beleive what I was hearing. He said it a few more time I didn't care how hard it was for him he said fine and hung up on me! These people are being so rude to me and I don't know what to do! I can't afford another dog and I don't feel I should have to buy one. I purchased him a month ago. He was sick! We tried to help him but couldn't. I didn't tell my son because he was so sick that day and when he started feeling better he said maybe if you give Dexter some of the medicine you gave me he will feel all better and come home. I don't want to break his heart. I feel bad asking for another puppy but what else should I do? Again thank you all for your loving words. |
Please email me. I am going through almost the same thing! With a puppy I bought on January 9th.
