I called Marie and she said all of her dogs have been healthy and this is the first time she ever heard about this illness. She asked for my number and said she would call me. I never heard from her again. The vet said there is not much that can be done as far as medicine goes. We had to put Trouble on a prescription diet - low salt and low protein. We administered IV every night. I also took him to a holistic doctor in Westchester who prescribed different herbs and vitamins. Our hearts broke this year on New Year's Day when Trouble went to a better place.

Hello,
I came across this site and read your story and was sad and upset. I'm so sorry to hear what happened to Trouble. I'm also upset because she has had health problems with Wheaton's before. My husband and I bought two wheatons from her in 2001. The girl urinated all the time so we took her to the vet. I don't remember exactly what he said, but it was something like - her bladder wasn't allowed to fully form because a lot of organs weren't developing right. She was past operating and was put to sleep. I told Marie about this and she did offer to replace the pup, but we were too upset to think about it. I never took her up on the offer because I had a funny feeling about. I'm upset that she said all her puppies are healthy.
I need to find out more about her operations.
