Hey Guys,

I'm new to the site and am looking for some advice. I recently got a 9 week old yorkie puppy that is the sweetest thing I have ever seen. He was flown to me and have a full day of travel to get to me.. Poor thing. Anyways when I got him he seemed fine at first. Within a few hours though he was coughing.

The coughing got worse within a few days so I brought him to the emergency vet. I left the vet with antibiotics but was left with more questions then when I started. The vet thought it could be tracheal collapse based on the X-ray she took but she phoned me and told me she was wrong and there was no tracheal collapse. I told her Grim was now throwing up (from the meds I think). Long story short the vet made more suggestions and suggested more testing. This all happened within 4 days of me owning him.

Now to get to the point.. I stayed in contact with my breeders frequently. They showed alot of concern for mine and Grim's well being. They insisted I send him back so that they could nurse him back to health for me. I sent him back and he has been sick for a month now. I'm just wondering if anyone went through a similar experience with their breeder and what the outcome was. Thank you kindly for any comments as I have been pretty worried about the whole situation.
