After 35+ years in this business, I do NOT advocate selling tiny babies with hypoglycemia to novice owners. If this "tiny" puppy is going to grow out of this, they usually have done so by the time they are 4 months old and weigh 3 - 3.5 lbs....a breeder that has ANY working knowledge of her babies, knows full well if a baby has an issue with hypoglycemia...that is not something that just magically pops up as soon as the baby goes to a new owner....to sell a baby knowing it has issues with hypoglycemia, (without educating the new owner on feeding methods, etc) to a novice, is unnecessary and unethical at best. |
Yeah I agree but would be concerned what would happen to Gracie once returned. I think getting a second vet opinion sounds like a good option then at least if you do hand her back, you wont keep asking yourself what if in the future, you will have done so with the knowledge to make that informed choice. Goood luck to you my thoughts are with you what ever you decide is right for you all .
