We just aren't ready for another baby yet but when we are I'll take your suggestion to ask breeders about a good vet.

I took Savannah to this vet. SEVERAL times every year. Shots every year. Teeth cleaning, etc.
I don't place all the responsibilty with him. "I" should have done more research for Savannah's sake. In that respect I feel like I really failed her... and that's a hard thing to reconcile with one's self.

thank you for the warning on this drug... i am so sorry for your loss.., i have found a holistic vet.. she is very careful with drugs so far and i trust her.. but
vets and doctors cannot be trusted completely.. just because a vet is licensed does not mean they know what is best.. i agree that it sounds like the deramaxx killed your savannah...your vet should be held accountable to at least admit to that fact.. some dogs are probably much more sensitive to drugs than others...i hope you get another puppy to fill the hole in your heart... try to remember that she had a great life for nine years.. and she is waiting for you on the other side....its not your fault...you trusted your vet..
but they obviously made a big mistake.. you have probably saved someones pet by posting this story..
