I don't see how a dog who is prone to seizures shouldn't be allowed around certain dogs, that doesn't make sense unless you mean perhaps another dog could scare a dog into a seizure. I don't know if she was prone to them, I just said she had had a few in the past and was fine for a while therefore it had slipped my mind as a possible reason for her death. No I can't blame ALL of her issues on the breeder but most like her LP and seizures obviously were the breeders fault as well as her having issues with her eyes may of been genetic too. Who knows what else may of been an issue. If she was from a puppymill which she was, she wasn't bred properly is what I am saying. |
If Stormy's was shaken by your larger dog you most likely would not be able to "SEE" a broken neck. As we all know there the vertebrates in your neck also control the brains function. If the vertebra was damaged high enough up with would have cause her ability to breath to cease. These bones are very small and delicate so you would not be able to see or feel something sticking out of a neck. Let me remind you that I had Teagan as a temporary foster pup~he is the little 2 months old puppy that was stepped on by a Mastiff. Teagan was not able to walk because he had a compression to the T3 & T4 vertebrate in his spine and also a severed ligament at the T1 and T2 vertebrates. The severed ligament was not visible on Xray and was only found once he had his surgery. So your theory that you would have been able to see or feel damage does not hold. All of that aside, Stormy is gone and there is nothing you can accomplish by agonizing over cause of death. Whether it was poor breeding and a seizure or that that he died from something that your puppy might have done needs to be put behind you now. I agree that you need to mourn the her passing but you also need to take all of this as a lesson and grow with it. It's important is that you keep your new little pup save, you have learned your lessons regarding puppy mills and poor breeding and you will continue to promote what you have learned from this very sad story and the life of Stormy.
