It is a predicament Mary, and it is definitely not one I am taking lightly.
I will probably just allow the pregnancy and take the hit myself if I have another puppy with liver shunt. And you are all right about it being hard to make any decisions without having vet records in front of me.
I know when I have had problems with any of my other animals, my Airedale had problems with his hips from growing too fast, I let the breeders know first thing. They may not be vets but they are 'specialists' so to say in the breed that they are dealing with, and if they don't know the right information, they know someone that will. Or at least most breeders are that way, and I would do anything I could for the pups of my litters.
Bjh and dvlsh, you are right and thank you ALL for your support and help.
What breaks my heart is that I know the owners of this pup must be saying bad things about me and I had and still have no intentions of screwing anyone over. |
