 About to be a new yorkie mommy! But he is sick?
Hello!
I have a 15 week almost 16, yorkie boy I bought in LA. He is going to be shipped to me. The airplane ride will be 1 hour.
This was suppose to be on Monday but when he went to the vet, the breeder told me he had a slight temperature and with the weather it be best they dont fly him out. He has another appointment on wednesday to see if he can be flown out after.
Getting a little suspicious and wanting more details, I called the vet office myself. The tech that did his weight told me the breeder brought in two dogs that day (1 being mine). She said my yorkie's temperature was not really an issue but the doctor said he had kennel cough and is now on antibiotics. She said it was not bad-- she's seen worse. Plus the second dog that came in with him really had a cough.
I also asked her, since she was able to hold and see my little yorkie, are there any red flags she feels about him, and she said he is good.
Should I be worried? What other questions should i ask after today's appointment? How long does the puppy usually need to be on antibiotics for kennel cough?
I've already fell in love with this little guy (through current pictures), I think i'd want him even though he's sick... id continue the care myself. or is this being foolish? |
