Sassie collapsed, in my panic I took her to the emergency vet down the street (it was 9 pm, regular vet not open), they took her to the back, came out and said her veins had collapsed and they were "loading her with fluid". I asked about her sugar, he stated, oh, its fine, we are loading her with fluid. He came out 2 other times stating the same thing, the last time, he said she stopped breathing and they placed a breathing tube, he said they got bloody secretions up from her and could she possibly have some kind of trauma. I said no but you frequently told me you have been "loading her with fluid" could you have put her in pulmonary edema by loading a 2.5lb puppy with fluid. He back tracked and said, no, we didnt give her alot of fluid. So my own feeling is they drowned her and never checked a glucose level. I asked him to xray her because of the bloody secretions, he said she was too unstable to do an xray, yet he brought her out to the waiting room for us to say goodbye to (they wanted us to leave and they would call us if something happened), they also told me the estimate would be 850 and they required half down. I told her I needed to go home and call her with my credit card number as I ran out with her in my pajamas. She told me she had to check with the office manager, she came back and told me that if I didnt call back in 15 minutes they would withdraw treatment. It was a horrible experience. But its the only all night emergency vet we have here.
As far as buying from Twila, I wasnt concerned about lineage etc. My first yorkie I got when I was 20 at a pet store, he ended up having a horrible cough and the vet educated me on puppy mills and pet stores. He survived and I had him for 13 years, the next one I got from a lady at the flea market who several people reccomended. The puppy was fine. So when Cookie died Christmas Eve I was devastated, he was 10 and ended up with megaesophagus. I looked around the area for a breeder, went out to Twilas, looked and played with her dogs, saw where they slept etc. They are all happy healthy dogs. So I chose to get my new puppy from her. We dont show, dont breed them, I didnt even send in the AKA registration because she is strictly part of our family and thats not important to me.
