They also told me that her gums were white, which I knew, and even hours after the fluids they never changed in color. I did do research on the breed as I have wanted a yorkie for many years and have a 5 year old 5lb chihuahua who is in excellent health. On Friday I did have a normal do who did not throw up who did not diarrhea and who played and ate just like a regular puppy should. As soon as I realized she was more than ill I rushed her to the vet. As far as the necropsy, I had never had an animal die on me, I did not know what to do in the circumstance. I had just gotten the puppy 4 days ago I didn't imagine the poor thing dying. The only reason I turned it down the first time was bc I was uneducated in that aspect. As of now I am not. Turning it down a second time was bc thats what the vet advised me to do due to her opinion of the results coming back inconclusive were highly likely. No the breeder did not have a website, but she did have many adds posted up and when I met her she seemed very nice and honest. The first time I met Lola she seemed in good health and when I went back a week later to purchase she seemed fine as well. Obviously that is not the case. I am a very trusting person and from now on my guard will be up when it come to purchasing another pup. The breeders name was Katia and refereed to her business as bundles of love out of Orlando. She was located back towards Apopka. |
Well there you have it! I am so sorry about your pup, its an awful experience. I still feel your breeder is to "blame" here, that pup was way too cheap and when you turned to her she was not there, she should not have allowed the pup to go home so tiny and so soon.
You did everything you could under the circumstances and I am sorry that these things sometimes happen. I don't know the condition of the pup when presented to the vet irregardless I would definitely consider changing vets. However; I will also add that once again these pups can go down fast and if there was an underlying condition, faster.
I am very sorry for your pain and I sincerely hope you stick around and learn all you can before you venture out again. Don't let this bad experience keep you from your dream of having a Yorkie, they are precious.
Good Luck and keep us posted, I will check in to the breeder to see if I can find any info for you.
So very sorry this happened to you.
