Many many of the posts I see on this forum should be questions and concerns that the breeder the pup came from should be addressing, not this forum. i would be appalled and mortified if someone got a dog or pup from me and then had to come to this forum for information and advice for whatever they want to know.
I expect anyone who bought from me to ask me. If I don't know something I have an answer within the day, sometimes hours as I have resources to ask that do know.
As an example, I had a call early yesterday morning from a dog owner that got her dog from me a few years ago now. She described the symptoms, I knew she had to see a Vet and also knew who to send her to on a Sunday, excellent Vet open on Sundays. The little dog had a throat infection and is doing fine;she got her into my Vet that afternoon as I had called them and they got her in for me. |
So true Lorraine!
I had one of my moms call me last month after she had my baby spayed and was not acting right a day after it. I could tell something was wrong and I had her take her back in to get rechecked. She was running a fever and they had to give her fluids and antiobiotic! She has thanked me so much for giving her the advice, but I thanked her back for calling me. Even though our babies leave our home - they are still our babies. It's like when your own children grow up and move out - you still want them to call and visit! We are still their first mom!!
