I was supposed to get a pup from a breeder in my area tomorrow. However, she just went for her 7-week check up and has a heart murmur. The breeder basically gave me options, i can get another pup, or wait for a future litter.
I am saddened by this because i have been thinking i was getting this pup for 7 weeks now. She is soo cute. She is very small. Her last weight from last week was 18.3 ounces. Her two brother's as of last week are 35.1 and 31.4 ounces. She usually updates her weights on Friday's but i just wrote to her and told her to let me know what it was today.
As i am writing this she said she was gonna get her ultrasounded and if she was okay, she was going to sell her under a "spay contract." I was going to spay her anyway. if it were a major defect, she would just keep her until her time was up. She does not have the money for surgery at this time.
She said if i still want her and she had a minor defect, i could still have her but then if she did not live a long life, she would be willing to give me a future pup. ugh.
This is so sad and frustrating. Any info on people out there who have yorkies with heart murmurs?? what should i do??
