howdy all. i'm the unfortunate buyer of this puppy. i need to correct a couple of things my fiance has posted. that other vet (all pets in Chantilly, VA if anybody lives around the area) was the vet that had the pup for 5 days (2 over night) and could not tell me what was wrong with it. The rate they were going, they were completely off base, as the other vet i went to had him diagnosed in 30 minutes. all pets actually offered my fiance a credit card application to keep the pup there to pay for the tests and future tests.

the granny puppies place did NOT offer me another puppy. she told me it was not her fault but i could send him back and get just the money from the pup, minus the shipping cost. that would have been the end of it. the vet told me if i had put that puppy on the plane, he would not have made it there alive, so i just put the money up to get him well again.

i spoke with the vet and the pup had coccidiosis, anemia, dehydration & kennel cough. he's doing much better now. he is on a bunch of medication at the moment, so he is still not very active. he's a lot more vocal now, before he wouldn't even make a sound. now he yaps when we put him in his kennel for the night or while i go take a shower or something. he quiets down when he realizes i'm not letting him out though. he'll follow my fiance or i around like a lost puppy if we're doing things around the house. he's still a bit clumsy and falls down a lot. he still sleeps a lot and prefers to sleep next to you and not in the kennel. i'm guessing because of all of the meds he's on. he's eating now and lets you know when he's hungry. he's going back for a check up this coming week to see how he is doing.

needless to say... i've learned my lesson when buying a pup. i should have actually read the so-called "warranty" more closely. she could have sent me a puppy that has not eaten in weeks and died of starvation en route and not have been responsible for it. what a joke. since i last spoke with her, she has not answered my calls or returned my calls. at least i saved a yorkie who wasn't even going to have a chance at life had i not gotten him.
