Hmmm

you bought a puppy at the same place you buy dog bowls and sweaters?

and you are surprised at the outcome?

Ok, I have to agree with everything nancy said and at the same time take it a step further and ask you if maybe, just maybe you have learned something here?

Puppy mills turn out thousands of sickly, genetically weak and damaged animals mostly they turn them over to pet stores and wholesalers on the internet. You are not the first to come on here and have a story of a sick puppy and bad treatment through a pet store.

What I would say is this: Buck up and confront the pet store owner. Certainly they aren't the only place you can buy dog supplies! Insist on them providing you with a healthy animal or funding the costs of making her that.

And while you are at it, ask where, specifically this puppy came from. It will most likely be a midwestern puppy mill. Find out the exact source, do research on THEM. Maybe it will change the way you view petstores.
