I phoned my local vets and explained everything and she said to make sure she is having a syringe of water every hour and 2 syringes of milk every 2hours. I just gave her 2 waters and 2 milk syringers as she has hardly drank anything today. I feel alot better now she has something inside her. Altho when she said bring her down so i can check her out and she told me i would have to pay £100 today... i just have not got that amount of money with paying out £500 for Poppy yesterday and then buying everything i need for her this week which came to over £300. My OH gets paied every week so i told her i wouldnt be able to pay that amount out untill friday an she told me they cant see her without immediate payment, i burst out crying on the phone and she told me to phone the PDSA down Newcastle 40 minutes from me. As me and my OH are both in full time work there is no way they would even consider us. I am mad and upset that my baby needs medical care and no vet will even look at her because i cant pay untill friday!!! How stupid!!! Well she has her fluids in her now so i am happy about that, Ugh so upset and angry right now. |
Just keep on eye on her. Do what the vet has instructed you to do. Make sure you check her gums. Make sure they remain pink, no sticky or cold feel to them. If she's happy and not looking lethargic, she's fine. Please don't over worry, as she senses your nerves. And you want to keep her happy.
Yes, of course the breeder was nice when you began your search and interest. He's a salesman. What I would do, based on the information that was provided you by another member, is report is disreputable breeding practices. It may help you recoup some of the money you have spent, but if nothing else it can protect other buyers from this horrible man.
One thing I want you to keep in mind is that your baby is in a new location. It is very normal for an adjustment period and slowing or not eating for a day or two is normal. You just have to remain vigilant. She will pick up real quick. She is getting to know you and trust you....
