Yeah, we are leaning towards the Ring also. I can not see opening a dog up anymore then nessacary, espically at his age. We have a meeting with the Doc to day to discuss the date and everything, im guessing it will be sometime mid week next week. I m just concerned that they were unable to find the shunt with a Ultrasound, so it will mean they have to find it when they open him up, creating a longer surgery time and potential for more complications. I am located up in Nashua, NH.

Well, with her in that condition which turned out to be hypoglycemia, hypothermia, and an upper respitory infection that did not just happen in the short 4 hrs. at our home, We rushed her to the emergency hosp. where she had antibiotics for a wk. We told the breeder she sold us a sick pup, only 8 oz at the time of 12 wks old, with a health certificate. Well , she didn't hesitate to rip up the checks we paid her, I think she knew something was wrong with the pup from the beginning. We did have to pay $950 to the hosp. to get her home. I had to feed her every 3 hrs a Teaspoon of Gerber Turkey baby food, which was her main food for weeks . Today, almost 6 yrs later she's still very healthy but does not have a bark. I think it was from putting meds into her juggler vein from being so small her other veins were too small to use. She's all of 5 lbs now and seems healthy, so please have HIGH HOPES for TY, we'll be praying here that all turns out well there. I'm over the MA line not far from you. Yorkietalk has a lot of nice people here and a lot of information. Nice to see you aboard ! Please keep us posted as to how TY is doing. |
Its nice that there are atleast some nice breeders out there that will take responsibility for what they do. The breeder stated that he has never dealt with this before and that no other owners from my litter have reported any problems. He sells the pups at a very resonable price, we got Ty for $850 shipped. So i dont know if he was selling them that low cause he was actually aware of a problem, but he is using the low cost as a excuse to why he cant take the money from his pocket and give it back to us.
Thanks to everyone for thier continued support.
