Very sad story....it's a shame the OP did not seem to realize how fast these pups can go down.
If I were the OP I would not want another of that breeder's pups. I suppose you could stay on her for the money, but I would not want a pup from her for sure. |
No thats not always true because my vet at the time gave chachi fluids under the skin for diahrea dehydration when he was 8 weeks old and his staying at the vet was never discussed. Im not saying what you said isnt a possibility in this case but it may not be either
