This is my second puppy from this same breeder. I got my little Hootie a year and a half ago. He had to have Liver Shunt surgery which I PAID for! He died the day after surgery from complications. I contacted the breeder and her reply was no refund only replacement pup so now I have Piper. And now he needs surgery, problem this time is I cannot afford it (am laid off from good job) so have applied to several online Vet Bill assistance organizations and have been turned down by all. I also do not qualify for CareCredit (not working) and I have ALSO contacted SEVERAL Rescue Organizations as I "will" give Piper up if they can give him medical treatment as much as I don't want to! I will do whats best for Piper. But so far none have contacted me! I did contact the breeder and again she told me no refunds and to do whatever I feel is necessary for the pup. So, here I am. I did take him to my vet, he was on steroids and 2 other meds for a while but then was sent to specialist in Nashville, another $300 for x-rays and diagnosis. Dr House advised a collar would not benefit him at this time and that he needed surgery ASAP. So I am doing all I can !!
