I am so sorry about Macie. I lost my little Dixie from underdeveloped kidneys, congenital. I did everything to try and save her but she couldn't live with the underdeveloped kidneys. The kidney specialist I took her to said there was no way to screen the parents for this, it just happens. I had already gotten Pixie from this breeder and she cried with me when I told her Dixie passed. She gave me money towards the vet bills and a puppy when I was ready. I ended up taking Roxie who was going to be bigger since size didn't really matter. Since I trusted her and knew she would never have sold Dixie if she knew she was sick I felt comfortable taking another puppy. It sounds like you do not have that comfort level with the breeder and I think your wise to trust your gut feelings. |
