Also a Vet Check with health certificate on a replacement puppy as has been offered, all I can say is shouldnt that be done with any dog or puppy before it goes to a new home?
I started taking any new litter I have to my vet at about 6 weeks of age solely for a vet check and before I take any deposits from anyone wanting a puppy. I don't want a new owner to be looking forward to a puppy they have seen either in person or in pictures only to tell them later puppy has a health issue that my Vet could have warned me about ahead of time that could prevent it going to a new home. Then at 10 weeks I take them back for a vet check again and first vaccinations. |
Lorraine-she never offered us a puppy from a different litter. Only the female from the same litter as Max.
We brought Max home, on our 2nd trip, and he was almost 4 months old. We saw the green pus in his eye, the very next morning.
Our Vet did the Schirmer tear test at his 1st appt. and his score was so low, she consulted with an Ophthamolgist at Purdue in West LaFayette, IN.
His left eye is smaller than his right eye.
Our Vet did the Schirmer tear test at his 2nd appt. and his score had not improved.
Now, he has red inflammation is his right eye, so I believe our Vet will do the Schirmer tear test on both eyes at his appt. on Tuesday.
The Ophthamologist told our Vet to make sure we watched his right eye, very closely, as it could develop in his right eye.
My biggest mistake was trusting her words, when we spoke on the phone, before wemade the 1st trip to see the puppies when they were 12 weeks old.
