I would want to know if there was something done, or not done, intra-operatively, that contributed to the pups demise. I would want be sure and see toxicology tests...what and how much pain medicine did that baby have on board....this is just me...I like answers to devastating outcomes. I am not placing blame or insinuating anything about anything that the vet may or may not have done...I just would want answers......I do not understand how that baby started to deteriorate so rapidly....something initiated that decline....You can tell your vet, if you do not want to risk "hurting his feelings or insulting him" you need an autopsy at A&M in order to get an unbiased opinion from an independent source, to give to your breeder for possible partial refund or replacement pup.....I would suggest you do this....

I agree. Very good advice!
