I met a super nice breeder, and she told me how time consuming and frustrating raising a newborn can be, and it mostly related to potty training. I told her that I decided not to get a puppy.
She emailed me me six months later, and wrote that she is retiring an adult Yorkie, and if I am interested, she would email a pic.
I fell in love with this cutie five minutes after picking her up. The breeder told me that she has had two litters, and decided to retire her after the second litter as she had a very difficult time, and two of her pups died. The breeder was very emotional as she took Sadie and spent a few minutes saying good-bye to her.
I felt sorry for the dog, as she left behind her Mother, and two children. This is the only home she ever had.
I got Sadie in April, and she had her second litter in January. She had a C-Section.
A month ago, my sis-in-law told me she had a lump on her side underneath. I immediately took her to the vet, and he said it was leftover fatty tissue in the belly button area, and it was probably due from the C-Section, and not to worry.
I am glad you have a super vet, and can now relax. I feel terrible that your sweetie was abused. She is lucky to have you.
My dog was never abused, and adores all people, especially
children.
Take care.
Kate

I told him where it was and he called me to tell me that it was her belly button (she has an outtie) and it was nothing to worry about but asked me to come see him when I went to pick them up.
When I got there he told me that he had done an ultrasound to make sure and then proceeded to ask me how many litters she has had?!?!?!?!?! HUH? My mouth dropped and I told him I knew nothing since I have only had her for a little over a year (she is 3 now). I know nothing of her medical history since I adopted her and she was abused, that's all I know. He estimates from the amont of scar tissue she has had at least 2 litters by c-section (I always assumed that scar was from her spay).
I am so sad for my baby girl, she is so tiny! And she has babies out there somewhere and I want all the little Hallie's!
I LOVE my vet though, when I went to pay (as I was bawling my eyes out) he just looked at me and told me Merry Christmas and to not worry about it.
I am SO SAD!  |
