megansmomma, i just want to say, i think you do great things for animals,its really wonderful, but dont you think its better to educate rather than bash them?i agree with wat you say about puppymills and how its bad the lp is passed on but why not try to educate this person,not attack them so they dont come back?why not do it nicely?im not trying to start a fight but I just dont see why it couldnt have been handled nicer. |
Not to derail the thread, but yes, it does make for a long day, esp. at my age and my health, but it is an honor to prepare and serve the grieving family and friend's of the deceased, and to celebrate the life of the person that has passed. My Altar & Rosary Society member's do this out of our own pockets, whenever a member passes. We also do it for a family, whenever there is a family, that providing the meal would be a hardship.
I think, the outrage was due to the fact that the OP had not spayed this little dog after the first time.
And believe me, she made it clear in her deleted post, that she trusts her Vet of 12 years and didn't want 'someone's' opinion unless they were a Vet. So, that leave's me wondering why, she came here.
I would think, her Vet would have advised her to have her spayed, after the first time, but taking into consideration that he didn't seem too concerned about the severe LP, I would not be surprised if he didn't advise her to have her spayed.
Sometimes, "Nice" just doesn't get through to people.
The OP claims she has bred a larger breed of dog, so, she surely knows, there is no time that you "stop worrying". After all, all pups and kittens, and all my Wildlife Babies need constant supervision in those early weeks.
I hope, the little Mom and her pups will be ok, and the pups won't inherit the LP.
I've met far too many people with young pups that have severe LP. They have lost out on their puppyhood, because of it.
I know megansmomma has witnessed things in Rescue that would make a grown man, weep.
And I, myself had the great displeasure to see a "Breeding Barn" when I first moved to IN.
Tiny little females, with bellies too huge from pregnancy, unable to walk. And definitely not healthyenough to have puppies. They should have been someone's little Pampered Princess instead of spending their lives, churning out puppies.
Well, I am going to leave this thread, and pray the little Mom and her pups will be ok.
My dearest friend has been rushed back into the hospital at 7:00 this morning, after just being released on Monday. So, I am going to go focus on what I can do to assist her, and her husband, rather on something I have no control over.
