The mom actually took a few days before she would even look after her remaining puppy -- she hid and shook for days. Luckily I had another mom that had a small litter and took the puppy in for a few days. Mom is now obsessively watching her remaining child -- she is 3 weeks old, but mom still won't leave her for more than a few minutes. Yes I am disappointed with the vets office -- I was hoping for some sympathetic words, an explanation.... advice for the future... refund on the ultrasound??? I don't know... something to acknowledge what had happened! |
Often doctors don't acknowledge what happened because people use their words against them in a lawsuit. I'm not a breeder, but from reading what breeders have said here, it sounds like not all vets are repo specialists and it might be better for you to find one that is. Again, I’m so sorry that you and your daughter had to experience this.
