I have had breeders come crying to me over a deformity, wanting answer right away.....9 times out of 10 the problem is long gone by 8 weeks...AND I have seen breeders put this type puppy down..rarely is it necessary..most everything like this corrects or is fixable with patience...relax!!! |
Well, everyone has their own way of doing things. I am not suggesting that she did anything wrong at all but I would get a doctor's opinion on whether or not it is best to wait and if so, how long I should wait. I would also like his opinion on what the problem is. It is possible that he won't know, I realize that but it's also possible that he will have seen it before. It's all about what you feel comfortable with I guess, but she did ask for help and the best advice I can give is what I would do myself. No criticism was intended.
