The next morning I took her to the vet for a cheek up there the doctor told me she was very sick, she had a heart murmur in stage 4 I was in shock I did not even know what that was I just said is that bad...the vet explained to me what it was and how it was affecting her heart. I did not even know what to say he recommended me to return zoey to the breeder because zoey was not going to last that that long. I called the breeder and she said she would return my money or I could exchange her for another puppy. I just thought poor zoey how could I just return her, so I have decided to keep her I know I can make her happy for at least a while I just really want to know how bad is this thing of heart murmur how long do u think she is going to last and will it close like in the babies? I really want her to be ok am even taking her to Mexico to see what they can do I saw online that the treatment is very expensive and the surgery even more. Someone please give me some advice... Thank you so much for reading this.. Zoey and I appreciated a lot. |
I would ask for your money back & also to keep the pup. Most likely the breeder will just put the pup down anyway. You could use the money towards her treatment. Explain to the breeder that the vet said she will not live long and you just want to do whatever you can to keep her happy & healthy for however long or short that may be. I'm sorry you have to deal with this, you have a tough decision to make. Also check out the puppy lemon laws in your state.
