thanks for providing that info. she purchased the dog from a breeder, in my opinion, probably a BYB.

My vet did say we would play the wait and see game and that surgery may or may not be needed. Of course, now that I have her, I cannot imagine not having her and I will do what ever it takes to make her happy and comfortable. You will make the decision that is right for you, and you have gotten a lot of good advice here to consider. |
wow, i'm sorry to hear about your puppy ... esp. right on the heels of your last baby.

i am appreciative of the offer, i just wish this weren't even an issue
i know there are no guarantees, and since i am trying to rescue a pet instead of purchase one, i have to consider that any rescue i get could also have health issues that have to be handled ... i know i could have the issue even with a baby i purchased at a high price!!
i am grateful to all of you for your opinions ... she doesn't need the surgery right now and maybe she never will ... but she probably will ...
i hadn't even considered the additional expense of me having my surgery and having to pay for her care....
grrrrrrr, this is soooo difficult!!!
i haven't even met her and i have already cried over this!! i want to do the right thing for both me and the furbaby!! please keep us in your thoughts and prayers....
