My vet said not to feed him in the morning. The nutrical is in my purse always.

You don't even know yet what it is...wait for the blood work. That honestly should show something if there is a shunt.
Take this one step at a time! Don't be too hasty. If she is willing to give you a replacement, I would say go for it if you do not want to do surgery on this one....but please, please do not give this poor puppy back to her.  I don't want to think what she will do. |
I won't give him back to the breeder. But putting him in rescue? It brings tears to my eyes.

As others have suggested, take it ONE step at a time. See what the blood work says and go from there.
I am sure if something is out of line in the blood work, your vet will be suggesting a specialist and if you need some names, perhaps Robin can help out. She does know lots of vets in the BR and NO area. Just let us know if we can help you in any way.
IF his symptoms get worse tonight, though, I would get him in to an emergency clinic. |
I will definitely be in contact with Robin. Thank you.
