Thanks for making that point since I probably stated it poorly. It appeared for
sruss220's post that Bailey was brought in for an initial check up, that all preventive measures were taken and treatment was started. If caught and treated early and absent any immune deficiencies including stress, Bailey should have responded to the medication. There is that window of time when puppies are removed from their mothers that can cause serious stress eventually causing death sometimes with few serious symptoms. Bailey was getting proper care, appeared socialized and the vet mentioned some "liver" issues.
Great feedback. Thanks for keeping me on my toes.
