Its just very frustrating that , someone offered to pick the puppy up, so the OP stopped looking for other options, when Kathleen determined a few days ago via the phone call that the puppy would be better off staying put and on new food and meds? ( this is NOT always the case from what I have read and seen) and now apparently not the case here either if the puppy woke up with a big bloated belly which is a sign of LIVER FAILURE.. if the puppy had just went to rescue 4 days ago when everyone offered to help get the puppy in there, maybe her LIVER wouldnt be failing...From what I understand from reading about Liver Shunt there are very few Drs who are experts in this area, yet with out even physically seeing this puppy or her having a scintigraphy done it was determined that food and meds would even help, because from what I have read its VERY possible it wont???
Krystal you say you love this puppy , please please contact a rescue for Melody I know how much you love her and want to keep her , but it is very possible your other puppy from the same breeder could have medical problems too as she is young and may just not show signs yet..By giving Melody to a rescue it will allow you so much more time with your healthy puppy and you can focus on her medical needs as well as her life and really really enjoy her..you need to focus on your puppy now as she is still young and will require her shots, her spay her heartworm which is all can be expensive...
